+<para>The <parameter>man.font.links</parameter> parameter
+specifies the font for output of links (<tag>ulink</tag> instances
+and any instances of any element with an <tag
+  class="attribute">xlink:href</tag> attribute).</para>
+
+<para>The value of <parameter>man.font.links</parameter> must be
+  either <literal>B</literal> or <literal>I</literal>, or empty. If
+the value is empty, no font formatting is applied to links.</para>
+
+<para>If you set <parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter> and/or
+<parameter>man.endnotes.list.enabled</parameter> to zero (disabled), then
+you should probably also set an empty value for
+<parameter>man.font.links</parameter>. But if
+<parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter> is non-zero (enabled),
+you should probably keep
+<parameter>man.font.links</parameter> set to
+<literal>B</literal> or <literal>I</literal><footnote><para>The
+    main purpose of applying a font format to links in most output
+formats it to indicate that the formatted text is
+“clickable”; given that links rendered in man pages are
+not “real” hyperlinks that users can click on, it might
+seem like there is never a good reason to have font formatting for
+link contents in man output.</para>
+<para>In fact, if you suppress the
+display of inline link references (by setting
+<parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter> to zero), there is no
+good reason to apply font formatting to links. However, if
+<parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter> is non-zero, having
+font formatting for links (arguably) serves a purpose: It provides
+“context” information about exactly what part of the text
+is being “annotated” by the link. Depending on how you
+mark up your content, that context information may or may not
+have value.</para></footnote>.</para>
