Comment (by duncan):
Just having file names and line numbers would be good. For example I got
this error:
{{{
haddock: parse error in doc string
}}}
Nothing else. No idea what is wrong, not even sure what file to look in.
Turns out it was due to this:
{{{
module Foo (
-- * some top level section name
something,
-- **
somethingElse,
) where
}}}
So it was just that I'd not filled in the subsection name yet. I presume
that if there had been an error in the markup within that subsection name
that it would have shown me the full thing. However since the problem was
that it was blank, showing me the blank markup is rather confusing.
