docs (prebuilt download renders buttons)

[spaette]

Are prebuilt docs' rendering of buttons unintentional?

$ cd /tmp; tar xf julia-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
$ 

open in a graphical web browser the following

file:///tmp/julia-1.8.1/share/doc/julia/html/en/stdlib/Statistics.html

a source button appears when the mouse is placed over the section

in this example the hyperlink on the button is to an online page's section

https://github.com/JuliaLang/Statistics-61a021bcb330e6c52f2435f2abaffc77875ab6f2/src/Statistics.jl#L422-L448

https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Statistics/

no source button appears when the mouse is placed over the same section as appears in the screenshot

No, there should be a button.

https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.9-dev/stdlib/Statistics/ 1.9-dev looks fine.

It doesn't seem correct that releases should include buttons.

The 1st link I provided when opened in a browser tab returns the following.

julia-1.8.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

In this release likewise the hyperlink on the button is to an online page's section.

https://github.com/JuliaLang/Statistics-61a021bcb330e6c52f2435f2abaffc77875ab6f2/src/Statistics.jl#L422-L448

And the link when opened in a browser tab returns the following.

Not Found

That's the same link as in julia-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz.

1.9-dev looks fine.

on the 1,9-dev Statistics page the button's hyperlink when opened in a browser tab returns a 404

therefore my suggestion is to not include the buttons in the precompiled releases

Perhaps this ticket should be labeled WON'T FIX and closed.

Closed due to age.
