running Haddock with different options not possible

[g9ks157k@…]

When using Distribution.Simple, Haddock can only be run with default options. It is, for example, not possible to generate different flavors of documentation—an API documentation and a documentation with --ignore-all-exports, for instance.

There is now a configure --haddock-options flag that passes extra flags to haddock. Does this help at all?

[g9ks157k@…]

This does help, indeed.

However, there is a related problem. If I want to build a documentation for developers which exposes all private things, it is not enough to run Haddock with --ignore-all-exports. Cabal has to run Haddock on all modules of the package, not just the modules which are exposed. Could such a feature be implemented as well?

[ross@…]

Cabal already runs haddock over all the modules, but it adds --hide options for the other modules. It would certainly be possible to add an option to turn that off.

So can we open a new bug for that feature request and close this bug now?
