Description Hayato Ito 2013-11-12 09:22:48 UTC 
Managing linking to external definitions is painful. That also decreases readability and edit-ability of the spec.

For example, can you read and edit the following easily? :)


<p>At the time of event dispatch:</p>
<ul>
    <li>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#event"><code>Event</code></a> <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#dom-event-target"><code>target</code></a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#dom-event-currenttarget"><code>currentTarget</code></a> attributes <strong>must</strong> return the <a>relative target</a> for the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#concept-node">node</a> on which event listeners are <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#concept-event-listener-invoke">invoked</a></li>
    <li>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-MouseEvent"><code>MouseEvent</code></a> <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-MouseEvent-relatedTarget"><code>relatedTarget</code></a> attribute <strong>must</strong> return the <a>adjusted related target</a></li>
    <li>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-MouseEvent"><code>MouseEvent</code></a> <a href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#widl-MouseEvent-offsetX"><code>offsetX</code></a> and <a href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#widl-MouseEvent-offsetY"><code>offsetY</code></a> attributes <strong>must</strong> return the coordinates relative to the origin of the <a href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#padding-edge">padding edge</a> of the <a>relative target</a></li>
    ....



ReSpec has the feature for resoling local definitions and linking.

I need a similar tool for links to external definitions.

I've developed a tiny tool, called 'autolink', to manage links to external definitions.
