It would be useful if defining headers (either Setext and atx style), if Markdown would also generate corresponding anchors: ## This is an H2 ## would create: <a name="This is an H2"/> <h2>This is an H2</h2> Or something like that. Or is that available some different way? Thanks, Jeremy C. Reed

Pandoc generates
<h2 id="this-is-an-h2">This is an H2</h2>
For the details, see

Le 2007-09-22 ? 14:22, Jeremy C. Reed a ?crit :> <a name="This is an H2"/>Be careful with that. The `/>` terminator is only recognised by browsers when using the XML parser, which is to say when you send your document with an XML mime type (text/xml, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml). For the HTML parser (text/html), the markup above will be an unclosed anchor tag, and will span until the next opening anchor tag unless a corresponding closing tag (`</a>`) is found. If your anchor is not a link, there will be few side effects beside a strange DOM tree inside the browser. That's unless you have some CSS rule defined for tag "a". For an example of this: go to the [Markdown project page][1] on Daring Fireball, move your mouse pointer over the first words in the paragraphs following the "Discussion List" and "Installation and Requirements" headers and you'll see some unexpected rollover effects. [1]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ The correct way to write an anchor (so that it can be read by HTML parsers) is to close it with an explicit closing tag: <a name="anchor-name"></a> Michel Fortin michel.fortin at michelf.com http://michelf.com/
And just to round out the "me too's" in this thread, MultiMarkdown has this feature as well. (And, via an XSLT file, you can generate a ToC in XHTML). Fletcher On Sep 22, 2007, at 2:22 PM, Jeremy C.
