Commit b73c3a11963 introduced <ulink url=xyz><filename>xyz</filename><ulink>
hyperlinks for files in the postgres source tree by linking to the gitweb
interface at git.postgresql.org. This, IMO, makes the content referred to more
accessible, and is especially interesting for README files. The links in
question can be found here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/tableam.html
Right now we have ~85 references to source files using <filename /> in the
docs, should we convert them to hyperlinks like the ones in the Table AM docs?
I would be happy to make a patch that implements this, but I wanted to check
here before making the effort to make sure it's not immediately nayed.
A slightly fancier variant that avoids having to hardcode the git web
URL pattern in a bunch of places:
You mark it up like
<ulink url="file://src/include/access/tableam.h" type="pgsrc"/>
and then write a bit of XSL to process that into whatever form you want.
