Re: Anchors for links?

 

Thanks, Dan -

It certainly may be convenient, in some cases, to link to a heading.
Explicit anchors would allow increased flexibility and, IMO, anchors
would facilitate both usage and implementation.

However, I would be interested to learn the details, about how the
user might specify a heading as an implicit anchor?

Best,
Marc
