[Haskell-cafe] Reading Haddock sources on hackage no longer possible with simple browsers?

I second that.  I have always been annoyed by the ransom-note
appearance of colorized  listings. But that's just my taste. I
suspect, though, that lots of people have been frustrated when they
discover they can't  use the code they see because it's festooned with
markup. Golang.org offers similar listings, but also provides a button
for selecting the underlying plain text. I would like hackage a lot
better if it did so, too.
