Linking code to online docs |

Hello Supreme Leader, I was just wondering, what would it take to get allegro's formatted code to link to the official docs on liballeg.org? Right now they link to kind of outdated docs. If it's just a matter of scraping some links and adding in a list of keywords and hyperlinks, I'd be willing to do this in my free time. Thanks!

Yeah I noticed the documentation on allegro.cc is still showing 5.0 or 5.1… However, it may be more involved than what you think, the cross-reference between posts and docs might be deeply integrated here. Current liballeg site is static so that might be an issue. That's why there is no longer a search box there. Let's just hope our benefactor sees the post.

Not just that, but many of the doc links to Allegro 4 functions no longer work and simply redirect you to the manual. Time for maintenance!!! I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that Matthew's link code is modular and can be redone without too much hassle. I have faith in our Supreme Leader.

If there were a 'database' of keywords and hyperlinks, it would work a lot better than updating the docs stored on allegro.cc. Docs stored on a.cc would become outdated as soon as they changed in the repository. EDIT My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

I'll try to take a look before Trump ruins everything. |

Thanks Matthew. I'd be glad to help if I can. Parsing scripts, web scraping, whatever.
