Research direction

Look at the book.toml file (https://github.com/google/comprehensive rust/blob/main/book.toml#L44) to understand the existing redirect configuration. Then investigate how to inject Google Analytics tracking code into those redirect pages. The mdBook documentation on custom renderers and HTML injection (https://rust lang.github.io/mdBook/format/configuration/renderers.html) may help. Consider using the 'output.html.redirect' config or modifying the HTML template to include a Google Analytics snippet for redirect pages. Note that the redirect pages are likely static HTML generated by mdBook; you need to ensure the analytics code is present on those pages.
