fix: numerous broken documentation links (#2070)
seems linkchecker isn't catching them because it runs on generated html.
at that point the links are already missing.
the generation process seems to strip invalid references when they can't
be re-written from md to html.

I used https://github.com/tcort/markdown-link-check to check the doc
source directly.

There are a few false positives on localhost for development.

# OpenAI
This page covers how to use the OpenAI ecosystem within LangChain.
It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to specific OpenAI wrappers.
## Installation and Setup
- Install the Python SDK with `pip install openai`
- Get an OpenAI api key and set it as an environment variable (`OPENAI_API_KEY`)
- If you want to use OpenAI's tokenizer (only available for Python 3.9+), install it with `pip install tiktoken`
## Wrappers
### LLM
There exists an OpenAI LLM wrapper, which you can access with
```python
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
```
If you are using a model hosted on Azure, you should use different wrapper for that:
```python
from langchain.llms import AzureOpenAI
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of the Azure wrapper, see [this notebook](../modules/models/llms/integrations/azure_openai_example.ipynb)
### Embeddings
There exists an OpenAI Embeddings wrapper, which you can access with
```python
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of this, see [this notebook](../modules/models/text_embedding/examples/openai.ipynb)
### Tokenizer
There are several places you can use the `tiktoken` tokenizer. By default, it is used to count tokens
for OpenAI LLMs.
You can also use it to count tokens when splitting documents with
```python
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
CharacterTextSplitter.from_tiktoken_encoder(...)
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of this, see [this notebook](../modules/indexes/text_splitters/examples/tiktoken.ipynb)
### Moderation
You can also access the OpenAI content moderation endpoint with
```python
from langchain.chains import OpenAIModerationChain
```
For a more detailed walkthrough of this, see [this notebook](../modules/chains/examples/moderation.ipynb)
