I like to use Haddock markup like bird track (>) and enumerations (*) in

Yep,

However I can't get it working, the mentioned markup is simply ignored.

Hmm, works for me:

Description:
       foo
       .
       > bar
       .
       * baz

And the generated html documentation displays the markup as expected.

For some reason we decided on a .cabal file format where blank lines are
ignored and one needs '.' on a line to signal a blank line. I'm highly
tempted to change that unless someone has a compelling reason.

Ah, that's the trick. Should be documented. I hoped to read about here:
