When generating html documentation, robodoc seems to recognise texts such as "http://blabla" and converts them into links (i.e. produces <a href=http://blabla>blabla</a>).
This doesn't work for other type of links such as "file://..". I tried to include the html tag directly (e. g. <a href=file://..> blbla </a>). Unfortunately, robodoc converts tag marks ('<','>'). This conversion is necessary, for people uses this characters in the documentation. But is there a possibility to circumvent the conversion (e.g. some kind of escape character)?
I general, the ability to include html code directly might be quite useful.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This might be better categorized as a feature request.
If you're comfortable making the change, in generator.c, add a few lines to RB_HTML_Extra() to recognize the "file://..." (where it already recognizes http:// and mailto:).

What also work is to use a href
if you add for instance
* SEE ALSO
* href:ftp://myftp.mysite.net/file.gzip
Robodoc will add a
<A HREF="ftp://myftp.mysite.net/file.gzip">ftp://myftp.mysite.net/file.gzip</A>
Basically every
href:xxxxxx
will be translated into
<A HREF="xxxxxx">xxxxxxx</A>
Hope that helps.
Have fun,
Frans.
