Convert Haddock
to XWiki

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 XWiki markup

Let’s start with the good parts: XWiki is a free and open source software platform. The idea behing XWiki is to build a software that’s easily extensible. It comes with a Wiki (surprise!), a search, a blog, a file manager, a calendar, forums and tasks. A real jack of all trades. The text markup language looks like the MediaWiki syntax, but a few extra features. You can even add CSS to parts of your document (not sure if that’s a good idea though), or even complex things like a filterable table. Unfortunately the XWiki platform is written in Java. You should probably have some experience with Java to extend it’s functionality. That’s definitely not for me.
