| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for reading and writing interface files(!) This turned out to be quite easy, and necessary to get decent hyperlinks between the documentation for separate packages in the libraries. The functionality isn't quite complete yet: for a given package of modules, you'd like to say "the HTML for these modules lives in directory <dir>" (currently they are assumed to be all in the same place). Two new flags: --dump-interface=FILE dump an interface file in FILE --read-interface=FILE read interface from FILE an interface file describes *all* the modules being processed. Only the exported names are kept in the interface: if you re-export a name from a module in another interface the signature won't be copied. This is a compromise to keep the size of the interfaces sensible. Also, I added another useful option: --no-implicit-prelude avoids trying to import the Prelude. Previously this was the default, but now importing the Prelude from elsewhere makes sense if you also read in an interface containing the Prelude module, so Haddock imports the Prelude implicitly according to the Haskell spec.

| | | | | | | Allow exporting of individual class methods and record selectors. For these we have to invent the correct type signature, which we do in the simplest possible way (i.e. no context reduction nonsense in the class case).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lots of changes: - instances of a class are listed with the class, and instances involving a datatype are listed with that type. Derived instances aren't included at the moment: the calculation to find the instance head for a derived instance is non-trivial. - some formatting changes; use rows with specified height rather than cellspacing in some places. - various fixes (source file links were wrong, amongst others)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reworking of the internals to support documenting function arguments (the Most Wanted new feature by the punters). The old method of keeping parsed documentation in a Name -> Doc mapping wasn't going to cut it for anntations on type components, where there's no name to attach the documentation to, so I've moved to storing all the documentation in the abstract syntax. Previously some of the documentation was left in the abstract syntax by the parser, but was later extracted into the mapping. In order to avoid having to parameterise the abstract syntax over the type of documentation stored in it, we have to parse the documentation at the same time as we parse the Haskell source (well, I suppose we could store 'Either String Doc' in the HsSyn, but that's clunky). One upshot is that documentation is now parsed eagerly, and documentation parse errors are fatal (but have better line numbers in the error message). The new story simplifies matters for the code that processes the source modules, because we don't have to maintain the extra Name->Doc mapping, and it should improve efficiency a little too. New features: - Function arguments and return values can now have doc annotations. - If you refer to a qualified name in a doc string, eg. 'IO.putStr', then Haddock will emit a hyperlink even if the identifier is not in scope, so you don't have to make sure everything referred to from the documentation is imported. - several bugs & minor infelicities fixed.

| | | | | | | Grok the kind of module headers we use in fptools/libraries, and pass the "portability", "stability", and "maintainer" strings through into the generated HTML. If the module header doesn't match the pattern, then we don't include the info in the HTML.

- copy haddock.css into the same place as the generated HTML - new option: --css <file> specifies the style sheet to use - new option: -o <dir> specifies the directory in which to generate the output. - because Haddock now needs to know where to find its default stylesheet, we have to have a wrapper script and do the haddock-inplace thing (Makefile code copied largely from fptools/happy).
