Re: [Haskell-cafe] Is there a tool like ri from ruby?

Thank you two. I have got it working. Compared to ri, I think: The pro is I could find the package that I want even I do not know it. The con is I'd have to manually update its data. On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 9:21 AM, John Wiegley wrote:

Have you tried Hoogle? I know you can install it locally and use it from GHCi or Emacs. I'm not familiar with ri, but from your description I think a local Hoogle would serve the same purpose with the added benefit of being able to search by types.

Here's the wiki page about it: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle

With this setup I can use ":doc head" in my ghci sessions, and see docs very similar to what ri would show.
