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...:> brain[sic] ________________________________ From: Vincent Massol [mailto:vincent@massol.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 6:33 AM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Intra-document links to XWiki headers in 1.0B3 On May 15, 2007, at 11:30 PM, THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI) wrote: I really like the WYSIWYG editor's "Add/edit link" feature.

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... brain[sic] ________________________________ From: wikibc(a)googlemail.com [mailto:wikibc@googlemail.com] On Behalf Of Guillaume Lerouge Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 11:34 AM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Intra-document links to XWiki headers in 1.0B3 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...
