If you create paclet documentation with Workbench, then Mathematica itself automatically adds the RightGuillermet (??) to the usage message and it links to the corresponding Function page in the documentation. But this whole process is rather flakey and hidden from the user. In the present Workbence 2.0, and Mathematica 7.0.1 there is, for example, a bug if the application contains more than one package. Then some additional statements must be added to the PacletInfo.m file, and those statements generate warnings in Workbench - but work all right. This will probably be fixed in the next Mathematica release. Why can't usage messages be freed from their archaic String format?

Martin [mailto:smartin at seas.harvard.edu] Scanning through the MathArchives, I see others have faced the challenge before of trying to get hyperlinks into usage statements. Is the link below from 2004 still current for 2010 or are there now improved approaches? http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2004/Apr/msg00220.html
