 ### Standard arguments
 
-For any formula using certain well-known build systems, there will be arguments that should be passed during compilation so that the build conforms to Homebrew standards. These have been collected into a set of `std_*_args` methods.
+For any formula using certain well-known build systems, there will be arguments that should be passed during compilation so that the build conforms to Homebrew standards. These have been collected into a set of `std_*_args` methods. Detailed information about each of those methods can be found in [Rubydoc](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/Formula).
 
 Most of these methods accept parameters to customize their output. For example, to set the install prefix to [**`libexec`**](#variables-for-directory-locations) for `configure` or `cmake`:

 ### `bin.install "foo"`
 
 You’ll see stuff like this in some formulae. This moves the file `foo` into the formula’s `bin` directory (`/opt/homebrew/Cellar/pkg/0.1/bin`) and makes it executable (`chmod 0555 foo`).
