By default, Haddock comments are not part of GHC's AST.  You need to
explicitly enable it (see e.g. [1]).  For code that extracts all Haddock
comments by using the GHC API, you can look at [2].

Cheers,

No, but I believe you can access comments and annotations using a
ghc plugin. See https://github.com/thoughtpolice/strict-ghc-plugin for example.

[Haskell-cafe] Template Haskell and Haddock

2013-07-31 Thread Jose A. Lopes 
Hi,

Is there a way to access docstrings through Template Haskell ?
For example, access the docstring of a function declaration ?

Best regards,
Jose
