There's the "doctest" package: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/doctest, which looks pretty good and has a number of users (35 direct reverse deps).
It has support for cabal test integration, although I would like to see better integration with other test tools. But that can be added in the test executable I suppose. My only quibble with this suggestion is that asking beginners to do this sort of work may do more harm than good. It would certainly be helpful, but I don't think most people would find it interesting. On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 3:19 PM, Edward Z. Yang <[email protected]> wrote: > I also support this suggestion.
