This is by way of a proof-of-concept or initial attempt at the work discussed in #10351. This PR proposes initial handling of the cross-reference links to the erstwhile Templates section in
MANUAL.txt
by just making them links totemplates.md
that are cleaned up by lua filters for the manual page generation (here) and the website (in a related change over there, jgm/pandoc-website#65).None of this is quite perfect but it does function, with minimal churn in
MANUAL.txt
. The system could be stress-tested further by adding man page generation for more of the existing extra docs but I haven't done so so far. The main thing bothering me about what I have here is that documents will have to be paired with the right manual section in multiple places.
