For an example of HTML linking of the Ada 95 library interfaces, and
a number of others including the GNAT runtime interfaces, etc., see
http://www.seas.gwu.edu/ada
and click on "Hypertext-Linked Ada 95 Libraries"
Note that the all-GNAT source code for the tool that does the
linking is available from the address given in that page. You
simply turn the tool loose on a directory containing a bunch of
.ads files, and stand back. (Yes, they must be in a single directory.)
This tool links up only package _interfaces_, since the goal is
to help _users_ of sets of packages, not maintainers thereof.
It would be more than trivial but less than horribly difficult
to link bodies as well.
