docs: fix broken source-file links in managed chaining intro - #2579
Merged
Conversation
The opening paragraph of `documentation/vulkan/structure-chaining/managed-chaining.md` linked to source files via repo-relative paths (e.g. `../../src/Vulkan/...`). On the rendered docs site these resolve to `/Silk.NET/docs/src/...`, which does not exist, so all three links 404. Two of the targets were also renamed during 3.0 work: `Chain.gen.tt` is now `Chain.g.tt`, and `Chain.gen.cs` is now `Chain.g.cs`. Switch the three links to absolute GitHub URLs pointing at the current file paths on `main`. Fixes dotnet#2566

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good to me. I'll ping another maintainer to review it tomorrow and get this merged.
I also investigated a bit on my end and it looks like this is the correct way to go about it. Using relative links is messy considering how the website is built (I believe it's built from the 3.0 branch) and apparently leads to the file being downloaded instead, which isn't great.

Summary of the PR
Fixes the three broken links in the opening paragraph of the Managed Chaining docs page (
documentation/vulkan/structure-chaining/managed-chaining.md).The links used repo-relative paths (
../../src/Vulkan/...). On the rendered docs site they get rewritten to/Silk.NET/docs/src/..., which doesn't exist, so all three 404. Two of the targets were also renamed during the 3.0 work —Chain.gen.ttis nowChain.g.tt, andChain.gen.csis nowChain.g.cs.Switched the three links to absolute GitHub URLs pointing at the current paths on
main:Chain.cs— same fileChain.gen.tt→Chain.g.ttChain.gen.cs→Chain.g.csAll three new URLs return HTTP 200.

Further Comments
Scope is intentionally limited to the three links called out in the issue (the opening paragraph). No other links in the file were changed. The unrelated CRLF normalization on
