Robert Scholte updated DOXIA-293:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
Some form of macro processing for APT format files would be nice.

I often find myself writing very verbose links form APT to documentation, i.e.
{noformat}
{{{apidocs/org/package/MyClass.html}MyClass}}
{noformat}
(Not that I ever get to use something that terse, more like 
org.apache.tapestry.internal.ioc.RegistryImpl, etc.).

I would love some alternate link forms, maybe something like:
{noformat}
{{{api:MyClass}}}  
{noformat}
or
{noformat}
 {{{api:org.package.MyClass}}}
{noformat}
and let Maven build the links for me.


I also do some copious cross-linking of my documentation, so something akin to 
the Forrest site: prefix would be great (a way to reference another document by 
a logical id rather than a relative path).
