Description:
------------
Inside the generated class synopsis, return types for method are often classes. These classes should be linkified to point to their respective documentation page.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<fieldsynopsis>
     <modifier>readonly</modifier>
     <modifier>public</modifier>
     <type>DOMElement</type>
     <varname linkend="domdocument.props.documentelement">documentElement</varname>
    </fieldsynopsis>

Expected result:
----------------
DOMElement in generated output is link

Actual result:
--------------
Class name is not.

See phpdotnet::format_type_text(), we should probably add a default case there that checks if class.$type exists - and if so, link to it.

We should be consistent.. Either all <fieldsynopsis><type>s should be links or none...

Or maybe always link <type> if its a classname (methodparam, methodsynopsis, classsynopsisinfo..)?

I think a phpdotnet::format_type_text() change would work better, but that's just my opinion. We've never linked to the base PHP types, and I don't think we're about to start.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the CVS server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

objects and other pseudo types (mixed, callback..) in fieldsynopsis & methodparam now generate links, and methodsynopsis when not in classsynopsis.
