Text is missing from the man page. It looks like anytime there is a link, the link text and following text to the end of the line is removed.

Environment:

  • Archlinux
  • jq version 1.7

Additional context
To rule out a packaging bug, I also built jq manually from the git source. I made sure I had the correct dependencies installed and followed the documentation build instructions. jq.1 is still missing the same text.

It is worth noting that the text is also missing from the prebuilt man page.
