This is sort of related to ticket #130: http://trac.haskell.org/haddock/ticket/130 And this one seems to hint at a solution to the problem in the more extensive syntax for --read-interface. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3810 (My local haddock-2.10.0 --help doesn't mention this. But I'll give it a whirl.) On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 8:34 PM, Ryan Newton wrote:

Hello cafe,

For various reasons, some packages don't build documentation on hackage:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate

Therefore I want to locally install documentation for a set of packages like this and host them on a separate website. I want all of these ~ten packages' haddock documentation to be properly interlinked with eachother, but also to link to Hackage for types and classes defined in other modules.

Is this possible? Hackage haddocks are all interlinked, but that is simply because hackage is one giant local install, right?

If it's not possible (and it seems not) do any haddock devs have pointers on how to implement this?

Thanks, -Ryan

P.S. Someone recommended to me the following simple hack -- just use sed to rewrite the links after haddock generates the html. I think I'll do that for the time being unless someone has a better suggestion.

It is possible. I have done it for http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams/doc/index.html But it is not fun, and it took me several days of work (spread over two weeks) to figure out the proper magic incantations to get everything to work properly. I really ought to write up a blog post with instructions; I'll try to do that soon. -Brent On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 08:34:53PM -0400, Ryan Newton wrote:
