I don't think this should be reverted. Rather the regular expression should be refined. Will comment more...

Maybe replace word boundary \b with an allowance for spaces or the beginning of a line (^|\s). That will stop it from replacing if the word break is a non-alpha symbol like [ and ( but still work at the start of a line.

lpinca · 2017-12-18T08:21:01Z

@Trott's suggestion sounds good. In addition to that we should replace the space with the value of the first capturing group (^|\s)in the returned string.

DiegoRBaquero · 2017-12-19T21:22:52Z

@lpinca Indeed it would be needed, else a space would be removed.

tools/doc/html.js

      if (BSD_ONLY_SYSCALLS.has(name)) {
-        return ` <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=${name}` +
+        return `<a href="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=${name}` +


I think beginning should be used here, replacing the space.

@lpinca Same applies to line 427 too? Or am I mistaken about that?

yes, that's correct.

This moves the beginning regex matching group to the beginning of the resulting HTML man pages link

Landing for now as fixes main generation issue. Just noting for posterity that the curl and uname links referenced in #17637 are still broken, but it's for a different reason.

@maclover7 Hmm. The links referenced in #17637 seem to not match the new RegExp, so they should not be erroneously double-linkified now if I do not miss something.

Done. I assume it doesn't need to go back to the v6.x branch.

vsemozhetbyt · 2018-01-24T01:45:56Z

@gibfahn Yes, it seems v6.x docs do not have this issue.
