Subclass of the RDoc::Markup::ToHtml class that supports looking up method names, classes, etc to create links. RDoc::CrossReference is used to generate those links based on the current context.

Attributes
[RW] context

RDoc::CodeObject for generating references
[RW] show_hash

Should we show '#' characters on method references?
Class Public methods
new(from_path, context, show_hash, hyperlink_all = false, markup = nil)

Creates a new crossref resolver that generates links relative to context which lives at from_path in the generated files. '#' characters on references are removed unless show_hash is true. Only method names preceded by '#' or '::' are linked, unless hyperlink_all is true.

end
Instance Public methods
cross_reference(name, text = nil)

Creates a link to the reference name if the name exists. If text is given it is used as the link text, otherwise name is used.

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/markup/to_html_crossref.rb, line 55
def cross_reference name, text = nil
  lookup = name

  name = name[1..-1] unless @show_hash if name[0, 1] == '#'

  text = name unless text

  link lookup, text
end
gen_url(url, text)

Generates links for rdoc-ref: scheme URLs and allows RDoc::Markup::ToHtml to handle other schemes.

# File ../ruby/lib/rdoc/markup/to_html_crossref.rb, line 99
def gen_url url, text
  return super unless url =~ /\Ardoc-ref:/

  cross_reference $', text
end
handle_special_CROSSREF(special)

We're invoked when any text matches the CROSSREF pattern. If we find the corresponding reference, generate a link. If the name we're looking for contains no punctuation, we look for it up the module/class chain. For example, ToHtml is found, even without the RDoc::Markup:: prefix, because we look for it in module Markup first.

def handle_special_CROSSREF(special)
  name = special.text

  unless @hyperlink_all then
    # This ensures that words entirely consisting of lowercase letters will
    # not have cross-references generated (to suppress lots of erroneous
    # cross-references to "new" in text, for instance)
    return name if name =~ /\A[a-z]*\z/
  end

  cross_reference name
end

Handles rdoc-ref: scheme links and allows RDoc::Markup::ToHtml to handle other schemes.
