  "textContent": "To illustrate the use of the new `--reach <package>` option:\n\nThe Stack project itself depends on 231 other Haskell packages, 70 of them directly. Say that I wanted to understand better how it depended on package `witherable`. I can command `dot` within the Stack project, pipe (`|`) the output into the separate dot tool and generate an SVG file:\n\n`stack dot --external --reach witherable | dot -Tsvg -o example.svg`\n\nOn my Windows system, `start` is set up to use Inkscape to open an SVG file:\n\n\n    > start example.svg\n\n\nThe relationships I am interested in are then revealed:",
