I should really put this in the manual, since it gets asked so often.
Anyway, you can use GHC to preprocess your source files before feeding
them to Haddock:

   $ ghc -E -cpp -D__HADDOCK__ Foo.hs -o Foo.raw-hs
   $ haddock -h Foo.raw-hs ...

This also works to turn literate Haskell source into ... er ...
illiterate source.
