Convert Haddock
to Markdown (CommonMark)

Converting from Haddock markup

Haddock is a nice tool to automatically generate documentation from annotated Haskell source code. I’ve never used Haskell and have no idea what it’s for, but I like automatically generated things. BTW this text is handwritten, but I probably should have set up a machine learning deep learning thing to generate those. I bet no one reads them anyway. If you do, clap your hands twice so I know you’re out there. Anyway, let’s get back to Haddock. It’s intended for documenting libraries, but it should be useful for any other kind of Haskell code. Documentations can then be generated to HTML or LaTeX. Or you use Alldocs to convert it to many other text formats for free. Cool, right?

The files end with .txt by default.

Converting to CommonMark Markdown

Markdown was developed in 2004, with a spec and an implementation in Perl. Over the years implementations for more and more programming languages evolved. Unfortunately the specification was ambiguous in some points, so some implementations did things differently. CommonMark was developed 10 years later, in 2014, with an unambiguous spec and tests to see if new implementations are correct according to the spec. A few big players (GitHub, GitLab, Reddit, Swift and many more) adopted this common standard. So it’s basically the standard you might know already. Upload your CommonMark Markdown files and convert them for free, to any other text format! Or upload your text files and convert them all to CommonMark Markdown, for free!

The files end with .md by default. More about CommonMark Markdown files
