I recently noticed some anomalies in the Mocha RDoc. Within a method  
RDoc  
comment, any word that happens to be the same as a method in the same  
class  
gets turned into a link. You can see an example [2] with the word “once”  
and  
another [3] with the words “yields”, “times” and “with”.

Does anyone know how to stop these words incorrectly being made into  
hyper-links…?

## Thanks.

James.

Currently it is not possible.
