Description
- I have searched open and closed issues and pull requests for duplicates, using these search terms:
- 21.1
- 127.0.0.1
- I have checked the latest
mainbranch to see if this has already been fixed, in this file:- src/ch21-01-single-threaded.md
URL to the section(s) of the book with this problem: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch21-01-single-threaded.html#listening-to-the-tcp-connection
Description of the problem:
Let’s try running this code! Invoke
cargo runin the terminal and then load 127.0.0.1:7878 in a web browser.
For the online version of the book, it would be handy if that IP address was a clickable link.
Suggested fix:
Make the address 127.0.0.1:7878 clickable in that paragraph in the online version of the book, but make sure not to introduce ugly changes to the print version. Ideally, the link should open in a separate tab (target="_blank").

Research direction
Start by reading src/ch21-01-single-threaded.md at the “Listening to the TCP Connection” section, then inspect how the book renders links in its online and print versions. Make 127.0.0.1:7878 clickable online without introducing an unwanted print-version change, and verify the rendered result in both formats.
