ANNOUNCE: Haddock version 0.2, a Haskell documentation tool

I'm pleased to announce version 0.2 of Haddock, a documentation generation tool for Haskell source code. It's available from http://www.haskell.org/haddock/ The changes relative to version 0.1 are listed here: http://www.haskell.org/haddock/CHANGES.txt Cheers, Simon

Cool! I've just started to write "real" documentation for HOpenGL, and it's very easy to get nice HTML docs with Haddock. Great job! Just two remarks: * The layout of documented constructors and record fields is a bit heavyweight IMHO, almost a screenfull of lines for common constructs. I understand the current rationale, but nevertheless, does anybody have nice ideas for producing the more common "tabular" layout found in so many source files like: data Blah = -- The Blah type does blah blah blah... Foo Int -- Comment for Foo | Bar Float -- Comment for Blah * Having doc strings for function arguments would be high on my personal wishlist. I know it's already in the TODO, and after trying to implement it for myself and getting myriads of S/R conflicts, I probably understand why it's still there... :-] The former remark would hold for this type of documentation, too, BTW. Cheers, S.
