To do this, I would need to create categories of directives. Remember, the 
reference documentation is totally generated from the code without any human 
tweaking. Another feature that needs improvement for this to work is the page 
number support, which I plan to do in time.

However, do you really think this adds a lot of values, once you have the 
bookmarks and simple text search capabilities?

I have now created links to both, the full source and the rendered PDF, within 
the reference, allowing you to open them quickly as reference. They are 
downloaded from Zope's SVN server, so you do not even need to install the 
package locally. 

Give it a try!
