Research direction

Start with the inline-assembly page at https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/inline-assembly.html and inspect how the Rust Reference organizes neighboring chapters. Split the chapter into logically navigable pages while preserving its content and navigation, then build the documentation and verify that all inline-assembly sections remain reachable.
