[xwiki-users] Intra-document links to XWiki headers in 1.0B3

[Guillaume Lerouge]

Hi,

I'd say that right now you can more or less reliably name your internal link
like this:

Say you have:

1.1.1 I am a cool subtitle

You can link to it using [Whatever>#HIamacoolsubtitle] (note that there is
no space).

As a general rule the anchor name is #HSubtitlewithoutspaces (though I've no
idea what happens if 2 anchors have the same name).

This will take you to Spacename/PageName#HIamacoolsubtitle , which hopefully
is where you want to be.

I think your issue goes further than this, but this is a start...

Guillaume
