Re: Fun with WebAda/GNAT

"p.s. The phrase "conflicts with declaration" could also be linked to a page
     providing detailed explanations and references to the LRM, tutorials,
     etc. ACT would need only map each error message to a unique file
     path which the Ada community could begin to maintain for everyone's
     benefit. (I'm trying to ease the burden on the ACT folk so that it
     might be more feasible to implement my proposal)"

Actually we have done a lot of thinking about this kind of extended
error message handling with hypertext links. We even have a name for
the corresponding utility, it is called GNOME, for GNAT Online Message
Explanation. A great name :-) but no code yet :-(

But sure, I agree with what Doug said, my comments were solely about
what the default text of the message says (i.e. what you see in Emacs
as you go through the program checking error messages).
