Hi,
consider
(** Uses {!print_endline} *)
let f () = print_endline "Hello"
What do I have to do such that ocamldoc generates a
crossreference to
file:///usr/share/doc/ocaml-doc/ocaml.html/libref/Pervasives.html#VALprint_endline
?
Bye,
Hendrik

OCamldoc can only create links to elements it knows about, i.e. in modules
given on command line (or loaded from a dump).
So the answer is: you can't.

OCamldoc can only create links to elements it knows about, i.e. in modules
given on command line (or loaded from a dump).
So the answer is: you can't.
After some discussion in the bug tracker, it turns out that one
can get pretty far with a ocamldoc custom generator that uses the
undocumented feature of custom text elements.
See http://askra.de/software/misc/odoc_xref.ml for my preliminary
version of such a generator.
Bye,
Hendrik
