Could you please start over and tell me what the *purpose* of this markup?
I have no idea what you think I suggested... (or even if I did suggest
something)
My apologies. I thought that you were saying that other
wikis had a specialized markup that would create a heading
and an anchor (in a single markup).
No worries - I figured that out eventually (after I sent my last post of
course).
I later figured out that you were saying that on wikimatrix.org some of
the other wiki records demonstrated how one could create an anchor in
the markup (not that they had a specialized heading+anchor markup).
Correct.
I agree it would be good to demonstrate how one creates an anchor in
PmWiki... but wikimatrix doesn't have a field for it.
Do you have permissions to add stuff like that? (I'm guessing not...)
Other than that, it seems that posting a suggestion in the forum is the
way to go. Here's a thread which discussed that:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11
So I guess suggestions should be sent here:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=3
Could you point me to the record that demonstrated it in another wiki?
See
http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/PmWiki+TracWiki
or simply the markup comparison for headlines
http://www.wikimatrix.org/syntax.php?i=115
the relevant line looks like:
=== Explicit id === #using-explicit-id-in-heading
However, as I checked now that was the only wiki that demonstrated how to
give a specific anchor to a headline.
Btw. One of the other wikis also demonstrated how to set the title. I
guess that could be considered a headline as well, so maybe add that?
I also think it might be worthwhile to consider a markup that creates an
anchor from free text... but I'm not sure what such a markup would be at
this point. My latest idea was [[## free text ]]
I think philosophy #3 applies...
Note that I think [[##]] and [[##anchor]] are used by some recipe for a
visible anchor. (I could be wrong though)
In addition, no markup will fix the fact that anchors can't do all the
characters we'd like. How would you create the anchor from this:
!! [[## Oj så många roliga saker!]]
I guess you could strip it into 'Ojsmngaroligasaker', but the anchor isn't
readable then. If we did this, then links would have to apply the same
stripping function, i.e.
[[page#Oj så många roliga saker]]
And we have to watch out for duplicate anchors, i.e.
[[## Så]] -> 'S'
[[## Sö]] -> 'S'
Basically I don't think it's worth it.
