That's great news for me, except: that's what I tried first, and I've  
just tried it again and it still doesn't seem to work for me.  Perhaps  
I am doing something wrong...?

Here's a toy example LHS file: http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=9802

and here's the corresponding .cabal file: http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=9803

and here's a screenshot of the resultant HTML: http://is.gd/3DzmT

(produced via "runghc Setup configure && runghc Setup haddock" )

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

One thing I did try was removing the blank line between the annotation  
and the code.  Of course, that breaks the LHS rules, so it doesn't  
build.  (I wondered if it was special cased for this purpose.)

Thanks again,
