Also Cabal problem but you raise an important issue. Cabal's synopsis parsing sucks so if it could instead read from a separate file without these weird limitations, that'd be a big improvement in itself and a lot easier to automated if one wants to.
+1 Personally, I don't care whether it's markdown or Haddock(*), but having the ability to have the Description (and/or synopsis) in a separate file would be a definite improvement, IMO. The layering of the .cabal file format rules on top of the Haddock ones is weird and annoying in practice (extra indentation, a single . for empty lines, etc) and it would be good to be rid of those, at least. Regards, (*) Both equally misguided/flawed in my opinion, but whatevs. It's what people are using.
