How are anchor references in Haddock supposed to work?

When I use "Dir.Mod#foo", the resulting HTML contains: <A HREF="Dir-Mod#foo.html"> instead of the more desirable: <A HREF="Dir-Mod.html#foo">

User error or bug?

thanks, -m

For what it's worth, I've run into this issue with XMonad docs before. For example: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/0.7/doc/html/XMon... has a line "See XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings for instructions on how to edit your key bindings."; the source is "See "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings" for instructions on how to edit your key bindings." This links to http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/0.7/doc/html/XMon.... The source At least in Firefox, clicking only reloads the current page, and doesn't go down the several sections to the key binding information. (When I tried with my offline docs, it didn't even reload, just errored.) -- gwern Bess fritz Team espionage Blowfish Kosovo SIG LF ISPE Saudi
