Tom Bentley commented on KAFKA-2967: ------------------------------------ {quote}I just took a look at Tom Bentley's proposal, and it seems to just be accomplished by annotating the docs with CSS tags; the actual link generation is done via a Javascript function, right?{quote} Yeah, CSS classes are enough for that PR.
