Bug description

Hello Maxence,

Regarding html generation with -keep-code, a nice feature would be to link symbols to their implementation (when available) in the implementation pages. This would turn our browsers into source code browsers. Very useful to understand how a project works.

Best,

Daniel

Additional information

It's not an easy thing to do, since all expressions must be analysed and names resolved regarding an environment. The current html generator is more oriented to produce "reference documentation", where browsing of source code should not be needed if comments are well written.
You can always create your own custom generator which overrides some methods of the default html generator...

Regards,

Maxence
