I think that's done manually as many of them don't. I think
it'd be
beneficial to have a way to tell the doc generator to include
a "go to
source" button at each doc entry of function/type. With the
option to
set a github repo or other link as the destination of the
link, it
should also include the line number when outputting the docs.
Might be a
bit specific for github there though, as setting the line
number just
involves adding a number to the end of the link. Whereas being
able to
set a local file as a link might be desired as well. But I
don't think
you can tell the OS to open the file at a certain line with
just a file
uri.
The documentation under http://dlang.org/library/ has such a
link at the top of each page. See for example
http://dlang.org/library/std/algorithm/comparison/either.html
Is that generated using something else? Adding a similar feature
to the other docs would do it then. Right now they lack any sort
of link to source.
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_range.html#zip
For example, has no links anywhere to the source code except for
the one link at the top, and that's just to the module. It
doesn't specify the line that the function is defined at.
