I am trying, in a docstring, to point to the function of another module. For example `mad` of `StatsBase`.

I tried `[mad](@ref))`, `[mad](@ref StatsBase.mad))` and `[StatsBase.mad](@ref))` but none of them seem to work: travis says:

```julia
Documenter: rendering document.
 !! Invalid local link: unresolved path
    '@ref StatsBase.mad' in man/API.md

```

Is it expected or did I miss something?

A little off topic here but something like [rdocumentation](https://www.rdocumentation.org) would be very useful…
