Method: RDoc::Markup::ToHtmlCrossref#handle_regexp_CROSSREF

Defined in:
lib/rdoc/markup/to_html_crossref.rb

#handle_regexp_CROSSREF(target) ⇒ Object

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.
