Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haddock multiple definitions

Hi, I cannot find a similar ticket, so it seems that no one has filed this issue before. As a general comment, I think this issue is a good example that perhaps docstrings should go in the AST. In any case, I would ask someone with a trac account in Haddock to submit this ticket for me. I apologize for the inconvenience, but, for privacy concerns, I don't want an account in Haddock trac and it does not seem possible to submit a ticket without first creating one. Thanks, Jose On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 12:51:35AM +0300, Roman Cheplyaka wrote:

In any case, it shouldn't fail with a parse error, since this is valid Haskell.

Please file a ticket at http://trac.haskell.org/haddock (but first see if it hasn't been reported before).

Hi,

I am using

GHC: 6.12.1 Haddock: 2.6.0

and the following does not work with Haddock (GHC is fine!):

-- Main

-- | Blah blah blah (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3)

$ haddock ... /tmp/Main.hs:2:0: parse error on input `('

Is this a bug? Or it's just not part of Haddock?

This seems like an interesting feature to document several definitions together, for example, error codes:

-- | Syscall error codes for blah... -- -- errA when blah -- ... (errA, errB, errC) = ...

Cheers, Jose
