Inline documentation links in type excerpts (#3931)
Before: <img width="667" alt="Screenshot 2024-06-12 at 15 54 38" src="https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/assets/1489520/3a5fc43c-fa2e-4b08-8e8b-c1c66decf7fa"> After: <img width="654" alt="Screenshot 2024-06-12 at 15 55 10" src="https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/assets/1489520/8c8abcaa-f156-4be4-a5e9-d1a4eff39ff4"> Previously, when items in our documentation referred to each other in code snippets, we'd put the links to their documentation pages in a separate "references" section at the bottom of the docs. Generally I find that this makes links harder to find (they're not in-context) and adds a fair bit of visual noise to our API documentation. This diff moves those links inline by adding a post-processing step to our highlighted code. This is slightly more involved than I wanted it to be (see the comments in code.tsx for an explanation of why) but it gets the job done. I've added small link icons next to linked code items - i experimented with underlines and a 🔗 icon too, but this seemed to look the best. ### Change Type - [x] `docs` — Changes to the documentation, examples, or templates. - [x] `improvement` — Improving existing features

// to linkify code, we have to do quite a lot of work. we need to take the output of
|
||||
// Highlight.js and transform it to add hyperlinks to certain tokens. There are a few things
|
||||
// that make this difficult:
|
||||
//
|
||||
// 1, the structure is recursive. A function span will include a bunch of other spans making
|
||||
// up the whole definition of the function, for example.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// 2, a given span doesn't necessarily correspond to a single identifier. For example, this
|
||||
// code: `dispatch: (info: TLEventInfo) => this` will be split like this:
|
||||
// - `dispatch`
|
||||
// - `: (info: TLEventInfo) => `
|
||||
// - `this`
|
||||
//
|
||||
// That means we need to take highlight.js's tokens and split them into our own tokens that
|
||||
// contain single identifiers to linkify.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// 3, a single identifier can be split across multiple spans. For example,
|
||||
// `Omit<Geometry2dOptions>` will be split like this:
|
||||
// - `Omit`
|
||||
// - `<`
|
||||
// - `Geometry2`
|
||||
// - `dOptions`
|
||||
// - `>`
|
||||
//
|
||||
// I don't know why this happens, it feels like a bug. We handle this by keeping track of &
|
||||
// merging consecutive tokens if they're identifiers with no non-identifier tokens in
|
||||
// between.
