+
+Description:
+  Happy is a parser generator for Haskell.  Given a grammar
+  specification in BNF, Happy generates Haskell code to parse the
+  grammar.  Happy works in a similar way to the @yacc@ tool for C.
+
+  This library provides the following functionality:
+
+    * Data type definitions for the Grammar AST type, capturing the information in .y-files (Happy.Grammar)
+
+    * A parser for happy grammar files (.y) to produce a Grammar (Happy.Frontend.*)
+
+    * Implementations of the text book algorithms that compute the LR action and
+      goto tables for the given 'Grammar' (Happy.Tabular.*)
+
+    * An LALR code generator to produce table-driven, deterministic parsing code
+      in Haskell (Happy.Backend.LALR.*)
+
+    * A (less maintained) GLR code generator to produce table-driven,
+      non-deterministic parsing code in Haskell, where ambiguous parses produce
+      multiple parse trees (Happy.Backend.GLR.*)
