 ## HOWTO (GENERATING TAG FILES):
 Build hasktags (standard cabal build)
 
-I've been using this bash function or something similar for a long time.
-It may be cumbersome but works:
+Ctag format:
+```bash
+hasktags --ignore-close-implementation --ctags .
+```
 
+Etag format (used by emacs):
 ```bash
-runHaskTagsVim() {
-  # use --etags instead of --ctags for emacs
-  hasktags --ignore-close-implementation --ctags .; sort tags
-}
+hasktags --ignore-close-implementation --etags .
 ```
