Everything looks okay to me, when I look at that page. Which pieces specifically do you see that are not hyperlinked?
"fdatasync(2), fsync(2), sync(2), syncfs(2)" in
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/sync.1.html

BTW, the colophon says the tarball was downloaded from <http://www.gnutls.org/download.html>, which seems incorrect. You might want to ditch tarballs and get source from the git repo instead: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/coreutils.git

Hmmm -- looks like a bug in my data.

So, the problem is that the coreutils manual pages (of which sync(1) is one) yse rather nonstandard formatting (that is to day, no formatting at all) for cross-referenced pages. This makes it difficult for me to catch these hyperlinks in my scripts in a robust way, but I will see what I can do to improve things.

Are these scripts available to the public?

Not currently.

Thanks,

Michael
