A constructor operation isn't linked like the extended attribute is

[foolip]

See whatwg/dom#782 (comment).

I haven't looked into what the problem is, but presumably Bikeshed needs some changes.

@Ms2ger is this something you've run into already?

[tabatkins]

Yes, Bikeshed needs changes here, haven't gotten to it yet. Thanks for the bug to track it.

[foolip]

Thanks for confirming, Tab!

@Ms2ger FYI I think this should block sending lots of PRs for Bikeshed specs, as probably lots of specs would have links broken without the maintainers noticing.

[tabatkins]

Eh, they'll fix on next build, it'll be fine. I'll fix this either Monday or Tuesday.

Also, it appears the IDs generated for parameters to constructor operations are not correctly scoped to the constructor operation (and hence can overlap with interface members of the same name).

[tabatkins]

Okay, "constructor" should be linking/dfning properly now. You can autolink to it either as "constructor()" or as "InterfaceName()".

The args problem is due to a bug in widlparser, which plinss is looking into right now.

[tabatkins]

And arguments should be working now.

I still can't get this to work with the latest bikeshed. The argument linking works but it doesn't link the constructor definition given the following markup:

<pre class="idl">
dictionary DocumentTimelineOptions {
  DOMHighResTimeStamp originTime = 0;
};

[Exposed=Window]
interface DocumentTimeline : AnimationTimeline {
  constructor(optional DocumentTimelineOptions options = {});
};
</pre>

<div class=constructors>

:   <dfn constructor for=DocumentTimeline
    lt="constructor(options)">constructor (options)</dfn>
::  Creates a new {{DocumentTimeline}}.

</div>

I've tried DocumentTimeline(), DocumentTimeline(options), constructor(), and constructor(options) as the link text but none of them appear to work.

[tabatkins]

Ah! Sorry, that's because constructor() is currently getting marked up as a "method" type.

I'll switch it back to "constructor".

[birtles]

Thank you!

Works a treat. Thank you!
