 Given a `Surface_mesh_topology::Path_on_surface` \f$p\f$, the class `Surface_mesh_topology::Curves_on_surface_topology` provides the following function:
 
-- \ref Surface_mesh_topology::Curves_on_surface_topology::is_homotopic_to_simple_cycle "is_homotopic_to_simple_cycle"(\f$p\f$) returns `true` if the closed curve \f$p\f$ is homotopic to some simple cycle.
+- \link Surface_mesh_topology::Curves_on_surface_topology::is_homotopic_to_simple_cycle `is_homotopic_to_simple_cycle(p)` \endlink returns `true` if the closed curve \f$p\f$ is homotopic to some simple cycle.
 
 Like homotopy tests, the first step is to simplify the input combinatorial surface. The algorithm will share the surface with homotopy tests and invoke the simplification if the preprocessing has not been done yet.
 \note The user must not modify the input surface as long as simplicity tests are performed with this `Surface_mesh_topology::Curves_on_surface_topology`.
