[A11y] Inline links not visually distinct from text #1505

Description

@ritiupa

axe-core flags link-in-text-block (serious) on /reference/ and /reference/p5/circle/. Inline links inside body text are only distinguishable by color. There is no underline or other visual indicator. This fails WCAG 1.4.1 (Use of Color).

Examples:
The p5.sound link in the intro paragraph on /reference/
The ellipseMode() link inside body text on /reference/p5/circle/

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to /reference/ or /reference/p5/circle/
  2. Run axe DevTools or npm run test:a11y
  3. See link-in-text-block violation

Expected: inline links should be visually distinguishable without relying on color alone, for example by adding an underline.

I searched open and closed issues before filing. No existing issue covers this rule in this repo.

@coseeian, flagging for label review.
