Hello, I decided to write an Org backend to Haddock[1], so that haskell library documentation can be generated in org mode markup. Compared to the existing backends (html, latex and hoogle), the org format allows utilising features like the infinite levels of heading hierarchy, flexible folding / unfolding, cross-package linking, jumping to any declaration with org-goto and the endless potentials of emacs customisation.
It seems to me most information and haskell language features one can find on displayed on hackage are supported by the org backend and included in the output org files, though there are still some rough edges and unsupported language features (like infix declarations and linear types) which I aim to fix. Some example output can be found at [2] (I will need to rename the "assets" part of the url as it is not accurate), including base[4], ghc-prim[5] and ghc-lib-parser[6] (I use it for reference of the GHC API as it is easier to build than GHC). For more information, check out the README file[3]. Given this is not the official version of haddock and my changes are in haddock-api, I'm calling it haddorg-api, for lack of a better name / approach. I'll be happy to contribute my changes upstream if a different license covering my contribution (AGPLv3+) is accepted. Let me know what you think.
