For links between modules and documentation within a collection, you can use any of the options above. For links outside of your collection, use ``R()`` if available. Otherwise, use ``U()`` or ``L()`` with full URLs (not relative links). If you are creating your own documentation site, you will need to use the `intersphinx extension <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/intersphinx.html>`_ to convert ``R()`` and ``M()`` to the correct links.

- To refer to a group of modules in a collection, use ``R()``. When a collection is not the right granularity, use ``C(..)``:
-``Refer to the R(community.kubernetes collection, plugins_in_community.kubernetes) for information on managing kubernetes clusters.``
-``The C(win_*) modules (spread across several collections) allow you to manage various aspects of windows hosts.``
