I would like to suggest generic entities for linking to pear and pecl packages. I assume they are folllowing the same logic (pear.php.net/package/ resp. pecl.pphp.net/package/)
<!ENTITY url.pear.package "http://pear.php.net/package/">
<!ENTITY url.pecl.package "http://pecl.php.net/package/">
Linking to a specific package could be done (for example) like this: for pear Net_DNS <ulink url="&url.pear.package;Net_DNS">some_text</ulink> for pecl tidy <ulink url="&url.pecl.package;tidy">some_text</ulink>
We do so for the rfc-links, why not for pear and pecl packages? ;-)
If nobody objects, I'll commit this and will take care of the already used entities.
I was just about to mail the list about the same thing, so I'm +1 :)
Me too +1
