source code link doesn't move to the defn, presumably because there's no anchor in the source file. I guess that would require munging the source files to add the anchors?
Right, you'd want to link to a html version with anchors. There are other tools that can do this. For example the Programatica project have an html source code browser:
I have also just added this anchoring feature to HsColour, a rather less sophisticated (and consequently more lightweight) Haskell-to-HTML syntax-colouriser. It can now generate an anchor <a name=""> for every relevant top-level definition in the source file. This means functions, datatypes, type synonyms, and classes (sorry, not class methods). The anchor is placed just before the first clause of a function definition (rather than on its type signature), since the signature might appear at an arbitrary distance from the definition itself. http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/hscolour Regards, Malcolm
