[Haskell-beginners] Something like pydoc?

[David McBride]

There is a hoogle command: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hoogle.

I don't use it, but I imagine you would have to set documention: True in
cabal.config, so you get documentation for any packages you have, and then
either use your browser, or put an alias in your .ghci to query it in your
repl, or just use the executable.
