Subject: bug#39215: Hyperlinks to man pages in doc strings

From: Stefan Kangas <[email-masked]>

Severity: wishlist

Please add the possibility to write in doc strings:

    man page `find'

and have it automatically converted into a hyperlink which will open
up M-x man and visit the specified man page.

The proposed feature complements the already existing functionality
with hyperlinks to info pages.[1]

For an example of where this would be useful, please see the doc
string of `dired-do-chmod'.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
