Function hyperlinking at 100% (?)

For ages, the function-linking feature of the src/*.c pages was broken and incomplete. Finally, all files from the src/ subdirectory have had their function definitions identified, and when you click on a function call, it *should* link you to the relevant function definition. If you see a function call not marked or a link not properly working (for example, sending you to the respective function in the 3.4.3 source), please make the relevant edit or hit me up, dizzylizzy in #nethackwiki on Freenode. It's been a long time coming and now it's all pretty. Props to DizzyBot for being a champ.

Nethack software architecture

I'd like to see something that gives an overview of how the different source files work together. I'd like to see a diagram of the software architecture of Nethack. I'd be happy to work on a page like that, for my own understanding. I suppose a computer scientist could frame this question in a better way. Does this make sense? Where to start?

Here's a snapshot of a mind map of the *.c files, what do you think? The map itself expands to show the *.h files, I can post that later. Wikid (talk) 19:57, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Syntax highlight

Looks like this Mediawiki version allready supports C syntax highlight:

void
 newedog(mtmp)
 struct monst *mtmp;
 {
     if (!mtmp->mextra)
         mtmp->mextra = newmextra();
     if (!EDOG(mtmp)) {
         EDOG(mtmp) = (struct edog *) alloc(sizeof(struct edog));
         (void) memset((genericptr_t) EDOG(mtmp), 0, sizeof(struct edog));
     }
 }

How could we have the annotated source code look like that? It would be so much easier to read!
