@jakobandersen ping.

@michaeljones @jakobandersen any chance we can this moving? Same for the other, more recent PRs. Some folks and I would rather step up and help you guys maintain this repository and not fork or patch downstream. FYI @clalancette @nuclearsandwich.

For some context; we're some of the core maintainers of https://github.com/ros2 , and we've been developing a tool to generate API documentation on our packages. The tool is based on doxygen, breathe, exhale, and sphinx, and you can see the implementation at https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosdoc2 . This change, along with #750 and #753 and some fixes in Exhale will allow us to generate the documentation with far fewer errors than before.

As @hidmic said, we'd prefer to help maintain this package rather than carry our own fork. Please let us know if you are interested in having maintenance help here. Thanks!

Do you have a small example project (or can make one) where this PR makes a difference?
The change looks reasonable, but it would be nice for reference to see the concrete issue it resolves.

PRs are definitely appreciated, and indeed I think having a single project instead of multiple forks is preferable. Though, do note that our maintenance resources are current rather limited, so it may sometimes take a while before we get to each PR.

Hmm, I was unable to put together a minimal example reproducing the issue, and surprisingly enough I cannot reproduce it when building documentation in our project anymore. Perhaps I initially misunderstood the interplay between Breathe, Exhale, and Sphinx when it comes to hyperlinks.

@jakobandersen I think we can safely drop this PR.

Closing.
