X-refs are not included in snippet export files

[delphidabbler]

When a snippet with "See Also" snippets is exported the export does not include the reference to those snippets.

The is provision in the export file format to include these snippets, under the codesnip-export/routines/routine/xref XML tag.

Source code comments in the UCodeImportExport unit make clear that cross references are not written, by design:

procedure TCodeExporter.WriteSnippet(const ParentNode: IXMLNode;
  const Snippet: TSnippet);
var
  SnippetNode: IXMLNode; // new snippet node
begin
  ...
  // Add nodes for properties: (ignore category and xrefs)
  // description node is written even if empty (which it shouldn't be)
  fXMLDoc.CreateElement(
    SnippetNode,
    cDescriptionNode,
    TSnippetExtraHelper.BuildREMLMarkup(Snippet.Description)
  );
...

However, the export file specification document does allow for cross-references to be written to the XML file.

Following some research it seems that CodeSnip never allowed for xrefs to be exported, so I've concluded that the specification is in error.

Therefore I'm closing this issue as "won't fix" and opening another, related, issue re amending the export file specification. See issue #151.
