haddock v2.8.0 Release Notes
-
HTML backend completely rewritten to generate semantically rich XHTML using the xhtml package.
New default CSS based on the color scheme chosen for the new Haskell wiki, with a pull-out tab for the synopsis.
Theme engine based on CSS files. Themes can be switched from the header menu. (New flags --built-in-themes and --theme. The latter is an alias for --css which now has extended semantics).
Markup support for executable examples/unit-tests. To be used with an upcoming version of the DocTest program.
Addition of a LaTeX backend.
Frames-mode can be enabled from the header menu.
Path to source entities can be specified per package, so that source links work for cross-package documentation.
Support for a second form of enumerated lists (1. 2. etc).
Additions and changes to the Haddock API.
New flag --no-tmp-comp-dir to tell Haddock to write and pick up compilation files (.o, .hi, etc) to/from GHC's output directory instead of a temporary directory.
Various bug fixes.
