Feature request: cross-references in displayed source code

Open mbraakhekke opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Hi,

It would be great if FORD would allow for cross-references to procedure (etc) pages in the source code included in the documentation, like Doxygen does. Is anyone working on this? If not, I'd be willing to take that on.

Not sure, what you are looking for, isn't this covered by https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/ford/wiki/Writing-Documentation#links ?

I mean links in the source that's automatically included in the documentation (controlled by option source). See this example with doxygen. You'll see that different elements in the source are link to the associated (section in the) documentation pages.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. Would be a nice feature to have.
