Hi Johannes, this is https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/682 I agree that it should be fixed. Cheers, Simon Am Di., 27. Nov. 2018 um 21:18 Uhr schrieb Johannes Waldmann < johannes.waldmann@htwk-leipzig.de>:
Dear Cafe,
it seems that haddock (as used on hackage) does not link to identifiers from other packages (neither in HTML nor in hyperlinked source).
This hurts, especially if a project has several packages that are meant to be used together, but are split for others reasons (modularity, maintenance).
Example: This index has an entry for "bpf", with a non-linked module name Csound.Base:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/csound-expression-5.3.2/docs/doc-index-B...
The reason is (I think) that "bpf" is defined elsewhere, but re-exported, and "elsewhere" is in a different package.
It is very hard to find the name of this package! (in this case, csound-expression-opcodes)
Of course, in no way is this a complaint about Anton's csound-* project. I use it in teaching, and I wonder how could we make documentation more accessible - without extra manual work.
Now, :doc of ghc-8.6 works, and :info helps somewhat: :info bpf ... -- Defined in ‘Csound.Typed.Opcode.SignalGenerators’ but it still does not show the name of the package. But at least we know the name of the module to look for.
