Description
This module illustrates & tests most of the features of Haddock. Testing references from the description: T, f, g, visible.

newtype N1 a
A newtype
Constructors
N1 a
newtype N2 a b
A newtype with a fieldname
Constructors
N2
n :: a b
newtype N3 a b
A newtype with a fieldname, documentation on the field
Constructors
N3
n3 :: a bthis is the n3 field
data N4 a b
An abstract newtype - we show this one as data rather than newtype because the difference isn't visible to the programmer for an abstract type.
newtype N5 a b
Constructors
N5
n5 :: a bno docs on the datatype or the constructor
newtype N6 a b
Constructors
N6docs on the constructor only
n6 :: a b
newtype N7 a b
docs on the newtype and the constructor
Constructors

Records
data R
This is the documentation for the R record, which has four fields, p, q, r, and s.
Constructors
C1This is the C1 record constructor, with the following fields:
p :: IntThis comment applies to the p field
q :: forall a. a -> aThis comment applies to the q field
r :: IntThis comment applies to both r and s
s :: IntThis comment applies to both r and s
C2This is the C2 record constructor, also with some fields:
t :: T1 -> (T2 Int Int) -> (T3 Bool Bool) -> (T4 Float Float) -> T5 () ()
u :: Int
v :: Int
data R1
Testing different record commenting styles
Constructors
C3This is the C3 record constructor
s1 :: IntThe s1 record selector
s2 :: IntThe s2 record selector
s3 :: IntThe s3 record selector
test that we can export record selectors on their own:
p :: R -> Int
This comment applies to the p field
q :: R -> forall a. a -> a
This comment applies to the q field
u :: R -> Int
Class declarations
class D a => C a where
This comment applies to the previous declaration (the C class)
Methods
a :: IO a
this is a description of the a method
b :: [a]
this is a description of the b method
class D a where
This is a class declaration with no separate docs for the methods
Methods
d :: T a b
e :: (a, a)
class E a
This is a class declaration with no methods (or no methods exported)
class F a where
Methods
ff :: a
Test that we can export a class method on its own:
a :: C a => IO a
this is a description of the a method
Function types
f :: C a => a -> Int

In a comment string we can refer to identifiers in scope with single quotes like this: T, and we can refer to modules by using double quotes: Foo. We can add emphasis like this.

  • This is a bulleted list
  • This is the next item (different kind of bullet)
  1. This is an ordered list

2. This is the next item (different kind of bullet)

     This is a block of code, which can include other markup: R
     formatting
               is
                 significant
 this is another block of code

We can also include URLs in documentation: http://www.haskell.org/.

g :: Int -> IO CInt
we can export foreign declarations too
Auxiliary stuff

This is some documentation that is attached to a name ($aux1) rather than a source declaration. The documentation may be referred to in the export list using its name.

Type signatures with argument docs
k
:: T () ()This argument has type T
-> T2 Int IntThis argument has type 'T2 Int Int'
-> T3 Bool Bool -> T4 Float FloatThis argument has type T3 Bool Bool -> T4 Float Float
-> T5 () ()This argument has a very long description that should hopefully cause some wrapping to happen when it is finally rendered by Haddock in the generated HTML page.
-> IO ()This is the result type
This is a function with documentation for each argument
l
:: (Int, Int, Float)takes a triple
-> Intreturns an Int
m
:: R
-> N1 ()one of the arguments
-> IO Intand the return value
This function has some arg docs
o
:: FloatThe input float
-> IO FloatThe output float
