Description

Describe the bug

Some links from a documentation page that lead to other documentation pages do not work. Not sure if this is an isolated case or if that happens to many pages.
The current web-hosted documentation can be accessed via the github page.

Context

Checking headers from the documentation

Expected behavior

A working web-hosted documentation

Current Behavior

404 Error not found

To Reproduce

In this page click on #include <pcl/PointIndices.h> on the top of the page, it will lead you to a non-existing page.

Research direction

Start with the hosted documentation page structpcl_1_1_point_indices.html and reproduce the 404 from the #include <pcl/PointIndices.h> link. Inspect how the web documentation creates links to header documentation, then verify that links between documentation pages work without 404 errors.
