Per the docs, ExDoc is able to link to Elixir modules found in Hex. I’d link to do the same for hackney but can’t get it to work. How can I e.g. have “Depends on :hackney.” in my docs with a nice link to :hackney? The same works when e.g. replacing :hackney with Jason.
We’re not auto linking to Erlang modules because it’s too easy to get a false positive, imagine:
Options:
* `:file` - name of the file
we don’t want to link to http://erlang.org/doc/man/file.html.
We’re still auto linking to functions though so this will work:
See `:hackney.request/1`.
and will link to https://hexdocs.pm/hackney/hackney.html#request-1.
For your particular case, I suggest either of these:
Depends on [`:hackney`](https://hexdocs.pm/hackney).
[Depends on `:hackney`](https://hexdocs.pm/hackney).
