Fabian Boehm 38b24c2325 docs: Use :doc: role when linking to commands
This makes it so we link to the very top of the document instead of a
special anchor we manually include.

So clicking e.g. :doc:`string <cmds/string>` will link you to
cmds/string.html instead of cmds/string.html#cmd-string.

I would love to have a way to say "this document from the root of the
document path", but that doesn't appear to work, I tried
`/cmds/string`.

So we'll just have to use cmds/string in normal documents and plain
`string` from other commands.

.. _cmd-continue:
continue - skip the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop
================================================================================
Synopsis
--------
.. synopsis::
LOOP_CONSTRUCT; [COMMANDS ...;] continue; [COMMANDS ...;] end
Description
-----------
``continue`` skips the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop, such as a :doc:`for <for>` loop or a :doc:`while <while>` loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an :doc:`if <if>` statement or a :doc:`switch <switch>` statement.
Example
-------
The following code removes all tmp files that do not contain the word smurf.
::
for i in *.tmp
if grep smurf $i
continue
end
# This "rm" is skipped over if "continue" is executed.
rm $i
# As is this "echo"
echo $i
end
