That would certainly be neat. Maybe it could be implemented in Haskell using YHC's JavaScript backend? (half-joking...)
Thats how Hoogle 4 is going to be implemented...
AJAX requires a server, and the nice thing about Haddock documentation is you can view it with file:// URLs. Maybe there's a way around this though, I'm not an AJAX expert.
By "AJAX style" I meant:
<a href="javascript:show_code('map')">Show Code</a> <div id="code_map" style="display:none;"> code for map goes here </div>
No need for a server,
Right, that would be easier. I'm a bit concerned that the concept of "the code for a function" is not as simple as it seems. Including just the code for the function itself often won't be useful, because it might be something like myFunction x y z = myFunction' x y z [] so then do we include the transitive closure of code referenced by the function? What if we refer to something in a different file, or scattered around the current file? What about CPP? Presumably functions that are documented elsewhere should be rendered as links. etc. etc. Just linking to a point in the source file is much easier. Making the "include source code" feature optional on a per-function basis would probably make sense, though. Cheers, Simon
