The compiler should try to provide as much information as possible (that 
makes sense), anchors, cross-referencing, inheritance hierarchy, and so 
on. Then it's up to the user how to use/display that information. Either 
using plain HTML or combined with JavaScript or similar.

The ddoc generator in Descent can already handle these things: anchors, 
cross-referencing, inheritance hierarchy and so on.
