handle_special_CROSSREF(special)

public

We’re invoked when any text matches the CROSSREF pattern. If we find the corresponding reference, generate a link. If the name we’re looking for contains no punctuation, we look for it up the module/class chain. For example, ToHtml is found, even without the RDoc::Markup:: prefix, because we look for it in module Markup first.

    name = special.text

    return name if name =~ /@[\w-]+\.[\w-]/ # labels that look like emails

    unless @hyperlink_all then
      # This ensures that words entirely consisting of lowercase letters will
      # not have cross-references generated (to suppress lots of erroneous
      # cross-references to "new" in text, for instance)
      return name if name =~ /\A[a-z]*\z/
    end

    cross_reference name
