Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add a link to the Reference Manual from the example page

When doing a Google search for "bit syntax", you could end up
on the programming examples page about bit syntax. The example
page has some reference material, but is far from complete.

Therefore, add a link to the page about bit syntax in the
Reference Manual.
