It would be really neat if these green filenames were actually turned into links that, when clicked on, presented the reader with web pages. Where it makes sense to do this, we do it already. In the case of a file that has a manual page associated with it, we usually have a cross-reference to the manual page (such as services(5) or exports(5)). For an arbitrary/random file, it's not clear what link would make sense. Can you provide a specific example of a change you'd like to see? Otherwise, the documentation is great. Thanks!
