In the past I had no problem with copy & paste from the colorized html that is produced by haddock. Perhaps some browsers/window managers attempt to copy html as html and not plain text, which may obfuscate this experience. As Brandon said, download & unpack the tar.gz linked from a package's main page to obtain the raw source. No need to reach for cabal. Olaf

This is a common issue with a common solution: the paste-as-plain-text command or Ctrl+Shift+v (instead of the usual Ctrl+v) works great in many contexts. -- Best, Artem
