Documentation Iframe

[CedSharp]

Hey there all.
I often like to link to a page in the documentation.
The problem is since it's a single-page application, and uses an iframe,
I cannot simply visit a page and copy the address...

I have to ( in chrome ):

1. Search for the page ( obviously )
2. Right click inside the iframe and select "view iframe source"
3. In the new tab full of code, the address bar contains the address of the iframe, which I can finally copy

Or, another way is as follow:

1. Search for the page
2. Hold Control and click on a page
3. The new tab will contain the link

The problem with that method is that if a link on the left panel opens a popup showing many relevant pages, the second method doesn't work.

I would love to know if there is a better way of doing this, or, @yygstaff, if there is a possibility that a "share" button be added of some kind. If I need to link a bunch of pages, it takes forever.

Here's a Firefox GreaseMonkey script I wrote for this several years ago:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Add links to Manual
// @namespace   http://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice
// @description Add copy link buttons to GMS Manual titles
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// @include     http://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/*
// @exclude     http://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/index.html
// ==/UserScript==

// Get top title
var top_title = document.getElementsByTagName('h1')[0];
var title_label = top_title.innerHTML;

// Copy link
var new_copy_link = document.createElement('a');
new_copy_link.innerHTML = '☍';
new_copy_link.setAttribute('onclick', 'prompt("Link to this Manual entry:", location.href);');
new_copy_link.setAttribute('title', 'Link to this page');
new_copy_link.setAttribute('style', 'cursor: pointer;');

// Copy BBCode link for GMC
var new_bbcode_link = document.createElement('a');
new_bbcode_link.innerHTML = '➼';
new_bbcode_link.setAttribute('onclick', 'prompt("BBCode link to this page", "[url=' + location.href + ']' + title_label + '[/url]")');
new_bbcode_link.setAttribute('title', 'BBCode link to this page');
new_bbcode_link.setAttribute('style', 'cursor: pointer;');

// Insert into top title
top_title.innerHTML += ' ';
top_title.appendChild(new_copy_link);
top_title.innerHTML += ' ';
top_title.appendChild(new_bbcode_link);

I've once filed a suggestion for adding links to copy/bookmark URLs in the online Manual, YoYo threw it out for not fitting into their pipeline. That's why I had to resort to this.

Greatly appreciated, thanks.
