I want section ids as simple as possible to make linking to them simple. And I want to keep section links as steady as possible even when restructuring a document. I know this isn't completely possible... I though about it some time ago. I think it should work like this. When the same headline is used multiple times then I'd like the following ids: headline headline1 headline2 This makes sure headlines and ids still match in most cases and existing links do not break. As long as the headlines are not duplicated in one document you can move them around and change their level without breaking any links. > Perhaps even allowing the renderer to have a prefix specified, to > allow web pages with multiple wiki pages (e.g. sidebars or includes) > to avoid id collisions. Hmm yes this could make sense. Using no prefix for the usual pages and adding one for sidebars... I had a look at how to implement all this but something was more complicated than I first thought so I didn't do it right away. Unfortunately I can't remember the problem :-( Well for the problem of headings starting with digits... Hmm which chars are allowed at start of an id? Maybe we could add an underscore: _3_ways_to_do_it And then compensate for it when building the link: [[foo#3 ways to do it]] would link to foo#_3_ways_to_do_it as well as [[foo#_3 ways to do it]] would.
