Changes

  1. comment changed to:
    It is fairly common to use anchors in HTML pages like:
    <code><verbatim><a name="INTERNAL_LINK">Named Location</a></verbatim></code>
    
    These kinds of links are used to internally or externally jump to the named locations via anchors like:
    <code><verbatim><a href="#INTERNAL_LINK">My internal link.</a></verbatim></code>
    
    I'd like to propose to syntax enhancements to the Wiki syntax.  The first of these is:
    <code><verbatim>[#INTERNAL_LINK]
    [#INTERNAL_LINK|My internal link.]</verbatim></code>
    
    These would translate into the following respectively:
    <code><verbatim><a href="#INTERNAL_LINK">INTERNAL_LINK</a>
    <a href="#INTERNAL_LINK">My internal link.</a></verbatim></code>
    
    The second piece of syntax is the actual label.  I'd like to be able to drop an anchor without the clumsy HTML by doing this:
    <code><verbatim>[@INTERNAL_LINK]
    [@INTERNAL_LINK|My named anchor.]</verbatim></code>
    
    This would translate directly into:
    <code><verbatim><a name="INTERNAL_LINK"></a>
    <a name="INTERNAL_LINK">My named anchor.</a></code></verbatim>
    
    If you think the idea is sound, give a developer account to the userid "michael" and email me the password so I can try my hand at implementing it.
