[Haskell-cafe] Haddock again

[Andrew Coppin]

Some time ago (I can't find the thread now), I wrote about the fun and 
games I had with Haddock.

After much experimentation, I have discovered that if you have a 
sufficiently new version of cabal-install, the configuration file has a 
field entitled "document-index:" or similar. If you uncomment this and 
use its default value, you get a documentation index generated for you. 
But ONLY if you do a user-install, not a global-install, for reasons 
beyond my comprehension. (I swear to God I got it to work with global 
installs one time...)

Also, I commented that the links generated were broken, but it appears 
that if you have a sufficiently new version of Haddock, the links work 
just fine. (In other words, this particular bug is already fixed.)

Finally, I notice that the master index links to the packages, but the 
packages do not link back. So it is impossible to navigate back to the 
master index other than using the browser's "back" button. This 
particular limitation seems to be present even in the shiny new release 
of Haddock.

Really finally: It seems that all of Hackage has been redone using the 
new Haddock. Wow, that was quick...
