doc: underline links 
The current use of color only to differentiate links fails WCAG A
accessibility standards.

Possible solutions are:

1. Using a text indicator to show that the text is a link.
2. Using additional cues (such as underlining).
3. Providing color contrast of 3:1 or greater with surrounding text
   (not the background--the adjacent text!) along with visual cues
   on hover.

The solution here implements the second option.
