Syntax highlighting HTML with links


Is there a tool available which would convert the sources given into HTML with links?

By links I mean that every type, class, and method used would point via href to its definition.

I haven't managed to make highlight, syntax-highlight, nor pygments work this way. Even if it supports input from ctags, it only adds the title attribute, but not links.


Solution

  • Highlight can easily be modified to support things such as adding links to function / class definitions, as well as manual entries.

    I was able to hook on to the class and function detection, and have each instance linked to the PHP Manual in my testing. I don't know what you'd want yours to link to, so it's your choice (per language, of course.)
