That would work too - is it obvious that it brings up the source?

I had it both ways, but found it easier to find a method if the name
was separated out. However, all the output formatting is pluggable, so
folks are free to come up with their own schemes, which I'll happily
feed back into the release. Right now there's no command line option
for it, so just put your own version of html_pages.rb ahead of the
standard one in the search path.
