docs.rs does not produce documentation for sub-crates

[Marwes]

In gluon I have a main gluon crate which serves as the easy to use interface for a few different sub-crates. These re-exports do not get links however which makes the documentation rather difficult to browse https://docs.rs/gluon/0.4.0/gluon/#reexports which I suppose is because docs.rs only builds documentation for the crate in question. It might do this for a good reason but would it be possible to at least get documentation built and linked for publicly re-exported crates as well?

Thanks for reporting. This is a limitation of docs.rs and I am working on a solution.

Currently you can define #![doc(html_root_url="https://docs.rs/$crate/$version")] as described in rust-api-guidelines in all your crates to make it work.

Awesome! I will try to add the root_url and make a new release. Thanks!

[Marwes]

That did the trick https://docs.rs/gluon/0.4.2/gluon/ !

#131 also fixed this issue, you no longer need to set html_root_url, docs.rs will do this automatically for all crates and it's dependencies.
