Well i would say "show this document".
I use 1.22.3 (aliased to s-roff because here there is 1.22.4 too,
and that does not support the necessary extensions) via

  mdocpdf() ( MDOCMX_ENABLE=1
    \export MDOCMX_ENABLE
    \: ${MDOCMXFLAGS:=-dmx-toc-force=tree}
    \mdocmx.sh "${1}" | \s-roff -Tpdf -mdoc ${MDOCMXFLAGS} )

and that mdocmx extension only does (^ actually pdfmark related)

And i get active links and a nice table of content outline that
i can toggle via "o" in mupdf.  Only paragraph layout sucks due to
bad breaking of .Ql literal strings.
