Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • documentation is changed or added
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

This is an example of tricky doc issues we may have.

When we create too common bottom references, there are two dangers:

  1. Inside the module document, there can be false-positive linkification in function signatures and maybe other places. The linkification in signature deletes [] square brackets and optional parameters become mandatory. See examples: zlib.createDeflate([options]), zlib.createDeflateRaw([options]) and so on.

  2. When these references are merged into the all.html, the [] square brackets deletion is complicated with confusing wrong links. See examples (beware that all.html is a big file): new Agent([options]), new net.Socket([options]), os.userInfo([options]), repl.start([options]) etc. which currenty refer to zlib option class that is wrong.
