[PATCH v2] doc: add more AsciiDoc cross-references

From: Julia Evans via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-25 00:52:34
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

From: Julia Evans <redacted>

Instead of saying "see EXAMPLES below", say "see <<EXAMPLES,EXAMPLES>>
below" to make the man pages easier to navigate on the web.

The reason for using the more verbose <<EXAMPLES,EXAMPLES>>
(instead of <<EXAMPLES>>) is that in some cases, <<EXAMPLES>> is
rendered as `the section called "EXAMPLES"` or `[EXAMPLES]`.
<<EXAMPLES,EXAMPLES>> is rendered as `EXAMPLES`, which gives us more
control over the output.

This also changes some of the HTML IDs of the headings from `_examples`
to `EXAMPLES`, which has the potential to break some links.

    doc: add more AsciiDoc cross-references
    
    This version rewrites the commit message to be more accurate. The
    original message said that the problem was to do with included pages
    which wasn't true.

     -    is referring to is in an included page (for example `REMOTES` in the
     -    `git-push` man page), then AsciiDoc will think it's a broken link even
     -    though it isn't. So it's easier to just make all of the links use the
     -    form with two parts.
