[Haskell-cafe] Re: Haddock + Hoogle == Javadoc on steroids

I can see the Haddock information, but not the Hoogle/HsColour mashup.
I'm using Firefox 3. Am I missing something? How do you get started with
a Hoogle query?

I believe you emailed me privately with a question about pointing at
haddock documentation from Hoogle. I'm currently a bit out of sync with
emails as I've just moved house, don't yet have internet, and can't
check my gmail account from work. The answer, from what I can remember
of the question, is:

"How do I get Hoogle to point at a particular documentation repo?"

The answer is to add a line similar to:

@haddock
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/Cabal/latest/doc/html/

to the Text file you get out of haddock --hoogle.

You can also add an @hackage url, which is treated as the home page of
the package.

Thanks

Neil
