Hi all,
With the bug tracker disabled at the moment I figured I might as well as
whether someone ran into this before, and knew of a clever way to solve
the the problem that comes with it: I have several pages which have
multiple sections with the same name, such as pages that deal with basic
grammar explaining different word classes, with each word class having a
"details" subsection. It would be counterproductive to put these
sections on their own pages, as it would completely destroy readability,
but this means it is impossible to link to these sections, as dokuwiki
only generates a "details" anchor, for each of them, rather than a
nested or enumerated anchor:
main section
nouns
details
verbs
details
adjectives
details
becomes
#main_section
#nouns
#details
#verbs
#details
#adjectives
#details
Which means that anything pointing to
mydokuwiki/wiki/doku.php&id=page#details will point to the details
subsection of nouns.
Consequently, editing any of the details sections and hitting "save"
will redirect to the noun's subsection... What would be a clever way to
cope with this? I was initially thinking enumerations for multiple
sections, so that the first section would be anchored as "details", and
the second as "details_2", the third as "details_3" etc, but this would
be ugly from a usability perspective. I'm currently thinking that a
nesting check would probably be more functional, so that for multiple
sections with the same name, the anchor also contains the name of the
containing section (such as #nouns_-_details) although of course this
introduces the (arguably far rarer) problem that if a page has a section
"A - B" with subsection "C", as well as a section "A" with subsection "B
- C", there would again be an anchoring conflict.
Ideas? Solutions?
