Description

Hello,

Is it possible for the documentation to link to where the function(s) are defined in the github source code. I'm trying to figure out how some methods are implemented but it is very difficult to find where various functions are defined even when I can find the docs on the functions.

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue mentions documentation pages and function definitions in the GitHub source, but names no files, documentation generator, or entry points. First identify how Macaulay2 documentation is generated and where function pages are assembled; done would mean the relevant documentation links each function to its source definition and the documentation checks pass.
