Highlight crate links as normal links with --enable-index-page

[camelid]

Rustdoc highlights most links in blue, for example module links:

But it does not highlight the links on the docs index page:

Generally links are highlighted in blue (or some other color) on websites and the rest of Rustdoc highlights links so it would be more consistent to highlight these links.

Where did you find that link?

[camelid]

The index page is https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/ and the page that shows the modules is https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_ast/index.html.

@jyn514 Do you know how to get to the index page (https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/) with docs for other crates? I can't seem to find the "List of all crates" in docs for other projects.

[jyn514]

I don't think this is actually generated by rustdoc. This looks like bootstrap is passing --index-page.

[jyn514]

In which case this should be a feature request for bootstrap, not a bug report for rustdoc.

Hmm, but it's generated by Rustdoc here:

rust/src/librustdoc/html/render/mod.rs

Lines 1062 to 1072 in 9d606d9

	let content = format!(
	"<h1 class='fqn'>\
	<span class='in-band'>List of all crates</span>\
	</h1><ul class='mod'>{}</ul>",
	krates
	.iter()
	.map(|s| {
	format!("<li><a href=\"{}index.html\">{}</li>", ensure_trailing_slash(s), s)
	})
	.collect::<String>()
	);

Oh interesting. It's still not on by default, you need to pass --enable-index-page, but it's definitely a rustdoc issue.
