Literate Programming in Haskell?

[Bill Halchin]

Hello Haskell Community,

    Probably somebody else has already brought this issue up already.
Why can't we have some kind of integrated literate programming model
where I can I can have hyperlinks in comments to documents represented
in XML??  In other words, a kind of seamless literate progarmming
environment in Haskell with XML, i.e. Haskell and XML are seamless??
E.g. here is a step in the right direction by writing in Literate
Haskell in HTML!:

http://www.numeric-quest.com/haskell/

The stuff at this URL is pretty cool, i.e. "Haskell" scripts written
in HTML. I want to also see hyperlinks to XML docs in Literate
Haskell comments or maybe even to Haskell code!

Regards,

Bill Halchin
