Hi SS Well done, this is pretty interesting.
As a sidebar, I’ve thought about enabling anchors before, thinking that we’d need a new mechanism to enable us to suppress the usual navigation behaviour when the location hash changes (the bit after the # of the URL). You’ve actually found a bug in the processing of the location hash that disrupts that processing if the URL contains a second hash. The problem is here where we split the location hash out of the full URL using .split(“#”): https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/boot/boot.js#L270 <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/boot/boot.js#L270> By splitting on the # character we actually throw away anything after a 2nd # character. So, when the URL contains two hashes, TW5 only sees up to and excluding the 2nd one… That’s why changing the URL to a value that starts with # doesn’t trigger a navigation (i.e. an overall double hash, as you have them). Another way to see the bug is to navigate to https://tiddlywiki <https://tiddlywiki/>.com/#foo#bar instead of navigating to a (missing) tiddler called “foo#bar” it just sees the tiddler title “foo”). It’s an interesting question what to do now: this is definitely a bug, and it prevents navigating correctly to tiddlers whose titles contain # characters. But equally, as noted above, I’ve been wanting to introduce a mechanism not unlike this just to permit the anchor stuff you’re experimenting with. Best wishes Jeremy. > On 1 Mar 2019, at 12:27, S.
