an answer to question in RE: [xwiki-users] Intra-document links to XWiki headers in 1.0B3

[THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI)]

I found the answer to the question of duplicate headings:
 
The Nth duplication is suffixed with -N.
 
An existing link would therefore be broken if a header with identical
text were added above it, thus changing its name.
 
I think that's a bug; at least, I don't like it, and I can't think of a
way to code around it.
 
I thought of naming them according to their place in the header
hierarchy, but that would be a move backward from position-independent
naming.
 
Since I'm going backwards anyway, I'll back up to considering what the
requirement is for a truly robust link name.  Primarily, this would be
that it won't change relative to the link, regardless of what happens to
the page's source content, including changing the heading text...  Okay,
that's ridiculous; I give up.
 
Never mind...

	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
