Research direction

Start by locating the PortToDocs implementation in this repository and compare its handling of the x pattern with the behavior described in dotnet/dotnet-api-docs#11847. Reproduce the method-description case, then verify that this pattern is no longer treated as a hyperlink while genuine links still are.
