Description:
Hi,

(Sorry, this bug might be very minor, still it should get fixed.)

in MySQL documentation, there is usually a link on the bulleted title of an option.  This can be seen in [1] where there is a link on the bulleted title "binlog_format'.

[1]: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-options-binary-log.html#sysvar_binlog_...

However, for the "binlog_expire_logs_seconds" option in [2], there is no such link.

[2]: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-options-binary-log.html#sysvar_binlog_...

Thanks in advance for looking into this very minor documentation bug,

JFG

How to repeat:
Look at the doc.

Suggested fix:
Make a link on the bulleted title of "binlog_expire_logs_seconds".

Same for "binlog_rows_query_log_events", both in MySQL 5.6, 5.7 and 8.0 Documentations ([0], [1] and [2])

[2]: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/replication-options-binary-log.html#sysvar_binlog_...

Hello Jean-François,

Thank you for the report and feedback!

Thanks for pointing this out! No need to apologize, it's great that you care about the documentation, and when we multiply the impact of a minor bug by all the people who will notice it and also be bugged by it for a few seconds, we can see that fixing it has a measurable impact. So it is always helpful to send a bug like this.
