What are the possibilities, if any, for getting offline docs for Haskell core libraries (and maybe more)?

Sometimes I take my laptop to the coffee-shop where there is no

It may not be "canonical" per se, but i believe that the most useful option is a docset software like dash(OS X)/zeal + generated docsets. This way you'll get the search for free and also will have an option to build your custom docsets. It's no problem to get the 'base' package haddock documentation with either of the projects out of the box. You can build custom docsets with haddocset or dash-haskell. Also it integrates nicely with emacs/vim/other editors, allows you to have project-based docsets(you'll have the relevant versions on a per-project basis this way, forget all this hassle with local hoogle!) and don't restrict you to any build flow you can have.

If you build your project with cabal-install you can set documentation: True in your ~/.cabal/config, then reinstall dependencies to get generated haddocks locally.

If you're using stack, you can utilize stack haddock command to build your dependencies and project with generated haddocks.
