[Bug] Cross-reference from markdown to member functions only works when the function has no arguments

[TIS-Tim]

Describe the bug*
Cross-reference from markdown to member functions seems to only work for parameterless functions, e.g.

Link to `Class1.g`: [g](xref:ClassLibrary1.Class1.g)

works and correctly links to ClassLibrary1.Class1.g() while

Link to `Class1.f`: [f](xref:ClassLibrary1.Class1.f)

Link to `Class1.f(int)`: [f(int)](xref:ClassLibrary1.Class1.f(int))

both don't link to ClassLibrary1.Class1.f(int).

Linking from inside the API documentation (<see cref="ClassLibrary1.Class1.f(int)"/>, <see cref="ClassLibrary1.Class1.g()"/>) works fine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Run docfx in the docfx_project directory of my test project:
https://github.com/TIS-Tim/docfx-markdown-cross-reference

Expected behavior
Generate correct links when cross-referencing API documentation from markdown.

Context

• OS: Windows
• Docfx version: 2.71.1+f5c0285f6a8571fbe1fe219e95b2f9add02c732c

The xref syntax works a bit differently than cref. This should work: [](xref:ClassLibrary1.Class1.f(System.Int32)).

You can find the correct syntax by searching for uid: in the generated YAML files.

Thank you!

You are totally right. The cross-referencing tool obviously doesn't know the C#-specific aliases of the .net types.
