I was surprised to see haddock apparently ignoring much of my comment layout, and a quick glance at the code indicated that it indeed throws away or doesn't even collect useful layout info. the first thing I noticed was that I can't find a way to have multiple paragraphs in a list item, apparently because haddock merges them early..
{- | - this is a long list item
a code example
i'm in a good mood, so I write more comments

variant example
- this is the next item -}
are there any plans to make haddock more sensitive to existing comment layout, preserving it in the html form, or am I just not using it the right way?
I haven't looked into what's going on here, but I'll just say that I'm more than happy to accept patches that improve things as long as they don't have a serious impact on backwards compatibility. Cheers, Simon
