- Getting Started
-
- To start using Visual Haskell right away, first create a new
- project (File->New->Project...). Select one of the Haskell
- project types (Console Application or Library Package), and hit Ok.
- The project will be created for you, and an example module
- added: Main.hs for an application, or
- Module1.hs for a library.
-
- You can now start adding code to
- Main.hs, or adding new modules. To add a new
- module, right-click on the src directory, and
- select Add->New Item. Visual Haskell supports hierarchical
- modules too: you can add new folders using the same Add menu to
- create new nodes in the hierarchy.
+
+ Additionally, Visual Haskell is bundled with a large collection of
+ documentation: the GHC manual, the hierarchical libraries reference, and
+ other material all of which can be browsed within Visual Studio
+ itself.

- If you have any errors in your code, they will be underlined with
- a red squiggly line. Select the Tasks window (usually a tab near the
- bottom of the Visual Studio window) to see the error messages, and
- click on an error message to jump to it in the editor.
+
+ Getting Started
+
+ After installing Visual Haskell, start up Visual Studio as you
+ would normally, and observe that on the splash screen where it lists
+ the supported languages you should now see an icon for Visual
+ Haskell (if you don't see this, something has gone wrong... please let
+ us know).
+
+ Firstly, take a look at the bundled documentation. Go to
+ Help->Contents, and you should see the “Visual Haskell Help
+ Collection”, which contains a large collection of GHC and
+ Haskell-related documentaiton, including this document.

- To build the program, hit Ctrl-Shift-B, or select one of the
- options from the Build menu.
