handle_special_CROSSREF(special)
public
We’re invoked when any text matches the CROSSREF pattern (defined in MarkUp). If we fine the corresponding
reference, generate a hyperlink. If the name we’re looking for contains
no punctuation, we look for it up the module/class chain. For
example, HyperlinkHtml is found, even without the Generators
prefix, because we look for it in module Generators first.
