-Note: Because of how `macro_rules!` macros are scoped in Rust, the intra-doc links of a `macro_rules!` macro will be resolved [relative to the crate root][#72243], as opposed to the module it is defined in.
+## Warnings, re-exports, and scoping
+
+Links are resolved in the current module scope, even when re-exported. If a link from another
+crate fails to resolve, no warning is given.
+
+When re-exporting an item, rustdoc allows additional documentation to it. That documentation will
+be resolved in the new scope, not the original, allowing you to link to items in the current
+crate. The new links will still give a warning if they fail to resolve.
+
+```rust
+/// See also [foo()]
+pub use std::process::Command;
+
+pub fn foo() {}
+```
+
+This is especially useful for proc-macros, which must always be in their own dedicated crate.

+`macro_rules!` macro will be resolved [relative to the crate root][#72243], as opposed to the

+
+If links do not look 'sufficiently like' an intra-doc link, they will be ignored and no warning
+will be given, even if the link fails to resolve. For example, any link containing `/` or `[]`
+characters will be ignored. You can see the full criteria for 'sufficiently like' in [the source
+code].
