</span>++, this will be great. Even API links can be provided in both class<br>
doc string as well as each method doc string (link to specific API).<br>
This will improve API ref docs quality and maintainability.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed, though I also want to point you to this doc specification.
