Wasn't there talk at one stage of integrating pandoc into haddock?

I wouldn't mind Haddock depending on Pandoc, at least optionally (-fmarkdown-comments). Taking this to its conclusion you could easily have syntax-highlighted code examples in Haddock documentations and allow alternative output formats.

I'm not sure the pandoc license (GPL) is compatible with the GHC license.

Do you mean because GHC ships with a Haddock binary?

GHC also ships with a GPL'd gcc binary, on at least some platforms. Regards, Malcolm
