Unresolved reference to log -> Print source (type/member) of the error.

[haf]

I'm getting this message:

FSharp.Formatting Warning: 0 : Unresolved reference 'log'!

What does it mean? Where is it and what's it trying to find?

We have some code in place to resolve type member names in the documentation, for example if you write <c ref='T:Some.Type' />' we can resolve this to a proper link to the correct documentation for that type/member/module or whatever.

Recently (#330) we can do that for markdown as well via [Some.Type].

The error means, that you somewhere have a reference we could not resolve (for example in this case [log] or <c ref='log' />). You can try again with the fully qualified name - in case of <c ref - or ignore the error because currently we only support type-names - in case of [log]/markdown. Or you can of course contribute the code such that we support members and let bindings ;)

Can you make it print where the warning comes from?

I think you can search for UNRESOLVED( as a workaround for now in the generated html pages. Is that OK for now?

But I definitly like the suggestion. The change is probably more invasive as one might suggest, but I would accept a PR for it.

The signature of https://github.com/tpetricek/FSharp.Formatting/blob/master/src/FSharp.MetadataFormat/Main.fs#L162 needs to be changed to return the reason/error and the error must be logged at the call side.
