Haddock fails on ConfigFile, but why?
Would love to get some help on making Haddock accept ConfigFile[1]. The error message is about as far from helpful as you can get ;) dist/build/tmp-15743/src/Data/ConfigFile/Monadic.hs:34:1: parse error on input `import' The author is informed but is as confused as me, it seems[2]. /M [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ConfigFile [2] https://github.com/jgoerzen/configfile/issues/4 -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay

Have you tried removing bits from that comment that precedes that line to try and track down where it's going wrong? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

It may be that haddock requires the comments to be indented, or at least the bird-tracke code blocks.

Okay, a bit of experimentation showed that the imports must come before the haddock comment section $overview. Whether it's a haddock bug, or a feature request for haddock to handle such situations, I don't know. Cheers, Daniel

Thanks for taking your time to find this out. I've passed on the information to the author. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
