No need to roll your own; there already exist a number of such tools.


Might I suggest:
http://www.usc.edu/dept/robotics/personal/af0a/tools/ctoohtml/ctoohtml.html
which marks up the source with HTML cross-links? It's not brilliantly
fast (Perl code). [It uses etags to get the crossreferences.]


Another tool is a javadoc-style system (combining this with ctoohtml
makes quite nice program documentation).

If you do an Infoseek (or similar) search for "ctoohtml", you'll get
other references to C++ pretty-printers, cross-references, etc. One
place to start is:
