Description: In markdoc, syntax {opth option(format)} where "format" becomes a hyperlink to the help file for Stata's format is not possible.
Possible solution:
option3([format](https://www.stata.com/manuals/dformat.pdf)) where link points to web documentation
Potential issues:
Points to web documentation, which is always most recent Stata version, which might not be the same version as person has installed. {opth option(format)} points to installed documentation which is always the same version as user has installed.
If we link to our own web documentation, links in old versions might be broken as name of commands might change, web documentation is moved.
In this case web link will also link to most recent version where functionality might have changed
