Add links in documentation

[joshlf]

Currently, most documentation comments do not include hyperlinks to other documentation when referencing other Rust objects.

I'm working on this.

[joshlf]

Awesome, thanks!

[joshlf]

Now that implied short links (rust-lang/rust#48335) have been merged, this should be easier.

[JaromirCharles]

Is there still work to be done on this issue?

[joshlf]

@lambdude Have you continued working on this?

[lambdude]

Sorry, I have not been able to continue working on this.

[JaromirCharles]

@joshlf I'd like to pick up this issue then.

[joshlf]

It's all yours then! I'll warn you that you might want to leave the elfmalloc crate to the end because we're in the middle of a large refactor now, so there's a decent chance those changes will land while you're working on this. Of course, if they haven't by the time you get there, then cool.

@joshlf I've started to work on this issue and I have a question to ensure that i'm doing the right thing.
Here you can look into my branch on which the work is being done. Within the lines [8, 40] you can see that I've added links to the mentioned rust objects.
According to the new short links, i should be able to write [std::println] instead of [println] and then [println]: ../std/macro.println.html. Unfortunately it's not working.
If I'm doing it wrong, can you please leave an example of how it's done so that I can continue with that notation instead of the current one I'm doing. Thanks

[joshlf]

Hmm, unfortunately I'm not sure. I've never actually tried to do this myself (in this project or any other one), so I don't know any more about it than you do. I often find the rust-lang users' forum to be a good resource for this sort of stuff - if you post a simple example of what you expect to work that doesn't work, somebody will probably be able to tell you where you're going wrong.

@joshlf
Unfortunately i did not have much time the past few days.
I just made a PR with the changes made to alloc-fmt. If you're satisfied with the way it is, i'll get the others done asap in the same manner.

[joshlf]

Awesome, thanks for that PR! My only comments were with the commit messages; the code itself seemed to work perfectly. And don't feel rushed in this 😀 Lord knows I've not had time for this over the past few weeks.

[JaromirCharles]

@joshlf i think i messed up the merging of the commits.

[joshlf]

@JaromirCharles Sorry I went AWOL for a bit, but it looks like you figured it out, so I merged the PR 😃 . Thanks!
