I am documenting an application using edoc, and I want to cross-reference a function in a standard Erlang application, say, //stdlib/gen_server:start_link/3, without hard-coding a URL like file:///usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/stdlib-1.15.3/doc/html/gen_server.html#start_link-3.<br>
<br>When I do this in edoc using the syntax <span class="code">//Application/Module:Function/Arity</span>, it cross references gen_server within my application's directory, so the generated link does not work. I saw a reference to using edoc-info files, but couldn't find more detailed information other than edoc would use all edoc-info files on the path. I could find very few edoc-info files in the Erlang distro. I got the impression that all the existing Erlang docs would have to be generated using edoc to generate the appropriate edoc-info files, but they aren't.<br>
<br>I looked at the edoc docs and source code for 0.7.6 with no further enlightenment. <br><br>Is there some way to do this in edoc that I've missed?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.<br>
