If you have evidence that symbolic links are being copied to the generated documentation, then the correct fix would be to ensure that any symbolic links **are** followed, and not to simulate following the links as suggested in this PR.

However, I would want to see evidence that symbolic links are ending up in generated documentation before pursuing this any further.
