Easily add Haddock documentation comments in Vim

Usage

This plugin provides a few commands to easily add Haddock comments to your Haskell code.

The :HaddockDeclaration command finds the top-level declaration of the body of code currently under the cursor, starts a Haddock documentation comment, and leaves you in insert mode.

Options

Haddock supports 2 styles of comment:

-- | A top-level function
function :: Int -> String
function = ...

{-|
  A newtype declaration
-}
newtype MyType = ...

The first ("dashed") is the default. To use the second, put the following line anywhere in your .vimrc:

let g:HaddockToolkit_style = "curly"

Mappings

The default mappings (enabled only when editing a Haskell file) are:

<localleader>hd - HaddockDeclaration
