@ -9,13 +9,14 @@ Phabricator can maintain a symbol index, which keeps track of where classes
and functions are defined in the codebase. Once you set up indexing, you can
use the index to do things like:
- link symbol uses in Differential code reviews and Diffusion code browsing
to their definitions
- allow you to search for symbols
- jump to symbol definitions from Differential code reviews and Diffusion
code browsing by ctrl-clicking (cmd-click on Mac) symbols
- search for symbols from the quick-search
- let the IRC bot answer questions like "Where is SomeClass?"

By @{article:Adding New Classes}, you can teach Phabricator
about symbols from the outside world.
Extend @{class:DiffusionExternalSymbolsSource}; Once loaded, your new
implementation will be used any time a symbol is queried.
See @{class:DiffusionPhpExternalSymbolsSource} and
@{class:DiffusionPythonExternalSymbolsSource} for example implementations.
