Example from the book I'm working on:
=head2 The URI class, and Absolutizing Relative URLs
X<URI.pm (class for URLs)>X<relative URLs,
absolutizing>X<absolutizing relative URLs>The URI class
(which is actually, behind the scenes, a whole class hierarchy)
does a lot of things, one of which is specifically most useful here:
URI.pm provides a way to absolutize URLs. [...]
This will just as if it were:
=head2 The URI class, and Absolutizing Relative URLs
The URI class (which is actually, behind the scenes, a whole class hierarchy)
does a lot of things, one of which is specifically most useful here:
URI.pm provides a way to absolutize URLs. [...]
...except that when you generate the index (and assuming the above appears
on page 903), the index will say:
...stuff...
absolutizing relative URLs, 903
...stuff...
relative URLs absolutizing, 903
...stuff...
URI.pm (class for URLs), 903
...stuff...
As to what existing formatters actually use the X<...>'s (instead of just
ignoring them, as most formatters do), I've no idea.
