I was looking for this coming from source.dot.net. It's a very useful feature where you can explore the source without cloning it locally, or as a workaround, using github.dev or github1s.com which works but it's only text-based.
--generate-link-to-definition perhaps? Or do you mean something else?
Yes, thanks. I guess it won't be deployed to docs.rs before it's final.
You can enable it for your own package. Docs.rs builds with nightly. I have seen some crates opt in. But old crates won't get rebuilt when new features are rolled out.
We continuously rebuild the latest versions for all crates so they can benefit from new features in rustdoc.
Additionally, there is now an option to specifically request a rebuild, which you can find in the menus in the Versions tab at crates.io for your packages.

Is a linkified version of std available somewhere? That's the crate where I miss this feature most.
Huh, that must be relatively new. I used to see pages that were clearly built way back, when rustdoc didn't have the current theme, but only some basic light theme.

It sadly doesn't compile yet :(. The feature is still experimental and enabling it for the standard library fails to build (I haven't dug into it, I think there's an open issue somewhere, I've tried it for https://std.noratrieb.dev).
