So I was trolling around wikipedia and the d20srd (www.d20srd.org) and noticed a pretty useful feature that seemed to be lacking on the wikis: in-page linking (or at least that’s what I’m gonna call it).

Here is an example:
Notice how this link jumps to the section of the page ‘Fatigue’ is found at?

...While this link only takes you to the page, without jumping you.

I think this would be really useful for those pages which contain multiple sections, like for example, my history page is divided into different ‘republics’. When linking to the page, it would be useful if I could jump users to the exact spot where the information I refer to is found.

On wikipedia, I think this is done by way of indexing feature (i.e. ”==section==”)

Anyways, what do people think?

Can you do it with html anchor tags?

I tried that for one of my pages for “The Vale”, and alas, it did not work that I could see.

I would find this very helpful as well, but like FemmeLegion, I couldn’t get it to work… So for now I am just going to make new wiki pages instead of anchors, I suppose.

Yeah, that’s perhaps the one feature I’d most like to see…

You could probably cheat using the footnotes feature of the wiki. But yes within page links would be nice.

I believe it should be possible with anchor tags…but upon a little testing it seems not to work.

I’m surprised Textile formatting does not support anchors in this manner.

I’ll put this on the todo list and see if I can’t come up with something.

Good request, keep them coming.
