I would think that the scroll-back function that you mention should be something that the front-end provides, not the module. I think there is an element whose purpose is to mark a location, index. Not sure if it is appropriate for this.
I do think it is worthy to be as near lossless in the conversion as possible. In the past I’ve used <milestone type=“x-value” other attrs /> to save that info. It serves me as a reminder of something that might be handled better in the future. — DM > On Jan 7, 2016, at 5:53 AM, David Haslam <dfh...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Thanks Michael, > > I can imagine a situation where having a back link is useful, but typically > only for footnotes. > > Suppose: > 1.
