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

[THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI)]

Yes, that's precisely what I did, but of course, only after inspecting
the HTML source.  You do bring up a helpful point I hadn't noticed, in
that compressing the spaces out is required.
 
Of course, this isn't something I'd want to have to tell a non-technical
user, and disambiguating duplicated headings isn't as unrealistic a
problem as it might seem, since several subsections might all be
organized on a common template.  Of course, just jumping to the
(far-more-likely-to-be-unambiguous) section header might not be too
onerous under such circumstances, so it might be okay just to discourage
such a practice.
 
Nevertheless, I love JIRA, so here we go...

	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

		I'll be happy to post a JIRA on that, though patching it
is not something I have time or skill to attempt at the moment.  I know
that a scrollto method exists that can subtract the height of the
heading from the anchor's Y-coordinate, and I have made it work both in
Firefox and IE, but of course I can put that in the request in case it
helps the patcher.
		 
		That leaves still my main question, however:  is there a
scheme for reliably composing an intra-document link to an XWiki
heading?
		 
		I don't consider it a show-stopper, so if you can't
reply immediately I can post another issue.  Indeed, it really is a
bug/feature request to a) have the anchors named predictably and/or b)
enhance the already too-cool-for-words link editor popup to list
headings (and other anchors...?) existing on the page and format the
link behind the scenes.  I realize this could be done immediately only
for the current page, but hey, that's all Ineed right now...:>

				I really like the WYSIWYG editor's
"Add/edit link" feature.  One problem, though, is XWiki headings.  There
are two problems generally:  first, it isn't intuitive how to name the
link.  For example, for a level-2 XWiki heading (1.1 in Wiki markup,
generates HTML h3 element of class "heading-1-1") named Styles, the
fragment identifier was "HStyles".  Also, a level-1 (h2, class
"heading-1") was also named by prepending an "H" to the heading text. Is
this the way it's supposed to work, where in the "link" field I have to
put "Hsomething" for a link to a heading called "something", unless
there's another heading with that same text, which could be added after
I compose that link and then what do I do...?
				 
				The other is that following the link
causes the page to scroll to just below the heading text, which is a bit
confusing.


			I've also noticed that point. The anchor should
be done just before the section, not just after. JIRA and patches are
most welcome.

			Thanks
