Add code references to layered algorithm blog post for easier navigation
Hi team, I recently discovered the excellent blog post on the layered layout algorithm: https://eclipse.dev/elk/blog/posts/2025/25-08-21-layered.html
The post provides fantastic in-depth explanations of how the Eclipse Layout Kernel algorithms function. However, it would be incredibly helpful for developers trying to understand the implementation if direct links to the corresponding source code were included throughout the article. Proposed Enhancement: Could you consider adding inline code references (GitHub permalinks or relative repository links) at relevant sections? This would help readers:
- Bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and implementation details
- Navigate the codebase more efficiently when studying specific algorithm phases
- Reduce friction for contributors looking to understand or modify the algorithms
For example, when discussing specific phases like cycle breaking, layer assignment, or edge routing, linking to the relevant Java classes or methods would significantly improve the documentation's utility. Benefits:
- Improved developer onboarding experience
- Better documentation-to-code traceability
- Enhanced learning path for new contributors
- Reduced time searching through the repository
Thank you for considering this enhancement, and thanks for the excellent documentation work so far!
