Just pass '--enable-documentation' to 'cabal install'. On *nix they're generated at ~/.cabal/share/doc.

Or edit ~/.cabal/config and set the documentation key to True

However this does not maintain a complete module index like I think Martijn is after. It would be great if someone volunteered to implement that. There's a ticket open for it: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/206 One question is where to put a central index. This is especially true for the case of global installations. For per-user installs it's probably fine to use ~/.cabal/share/doc/index.html or something, but for the case of /usr/local that's certainly not ok. Needs some thought. Duncan
