Instiki users - Oct 2005 - [Instiki] linking to document fragments - Textile documentation

Now that I have dropped ZWiki/Zope as my prime personal wiki (Zope runs  
far too slowly on my fast WinXP box), and taken up Instiki instead (runs  
great - and is a pleasure to use), which markup scheme to use is a  
critical question.

All three options appear to do well with basic document structure, but  
since I write a lot of stuff with reference notes, being able easily to  
set up linking down to a reference note is critical matter. "Easy"
means
absolutely NO HTML, which is simply unacceptable as a fast solution.

After far too long looking for an easy solution in ANY of the 3 schema, I  
could find my concern addressed nowhere. I was fairly displeased.

Then, snooping around in the Textile sandbox, of all places - because, as  
what looks like the richest schema I simply couldn''t believe that it  
didn''t address this document fragment linking issue artfully, somehow,
I
found that someone had set up just the kind of link I was looking for. I  
confirmed that this was the solution I was seeking, and was finally at  
peace with this issue.

NOW, why in !@$#@! is this not addressed somewhere in some documentation?  
Intelligent people doing serious writing for the web NEED reference notes.

I would be happy to document this piece of Textile myself, but...I
don''t
immediately see anywhere that this is possible.

Any solution to this?

Could someone just Take Care Of It?

Hi

Can you not document it here on the list [please], at least to start
with, or failing that create a page on the main wiki ?? I for one
would love to see what you have found as it may well be very useful
for my work also.

Best regards

Bearing in mind that I''ve done absolutely no research on this, but what
does the Wikipedia entry for Textile say?

Maybe you could create/expand that entry to document this feature.
