I am having some trouble with RDoc and my routes.rb file. I added  
config/routes.rb to the rake doc:app task and it doesn’t change links to  
real hyperlinks.

Here’s the modification I made to railties/lib/tasks/documentation.rake  
:  
rdoc.rdoc\_files.include(‘config/routes.rb’)

And heres my comments:

Oddly, my README\_FOR\_APP has links and it works just fine. RDoc also  
will not do anything with :include: but :section: workds fine. rdoc -v  
gives me;  
RDoc V1.0.1 - 20041108

I upgraded to ruby 1.8.6 and rdoc version is the same(paths are set  
correctly).
