Johannes Altmanninger 7a59540517 docs: use :doc: role when referencing entire pages
No need to define "cmd-foo" anchors; use :doc:`foo <cmds/foo>`
instead. If we want "cmd-foo" but it should be tested.

fg - bring job to foreground
============================
Synopsis
--------
.. synopsis::
fg [PID]
Description
-----------
The **fg** builtin brings the specified :ref:`job <syntax-job-control>` to the foreground, resuming it if it is stopped.
While a foreground job is executed, fish is suspended.
If no job is specified, the last job to be used is put in the foreground.
If ``PID`` is specified, the job containing a process with the specified process ID is put in the foreground.
For compatibility with other shells, job expansion syntax is supported for ``fg``. A *PID* of the format **%1** will foreground job 1.
Job numbers can be seen in the output of :doc:`jobs <jobs>`.
The **--help** or **-h** option displays help about using this command.
Example
-------
``fg`` will put the last job in the foreground.
``fg %3`` will put job 3 into the foreground.
