named anchors in html docs

[Linda Rose <li...@cox.net>]

Hi,

I have an html source file with links to named anchors. When I convert it 
using Forrest, the named anchors seemed to be stripped out, see 
http://www.alexandria.ucsb.edu/adl/docs_software/site/devguide/SBD.html and 
scroll down to the Geographic locations link. It's suppose to link to a 
named anchor further down in the file. Is there a better way to create links 
within a file?

Thanks,

Linda

Thanks for that info, I just assigned that bug to myself, so it will be 
fixed in SVN soon.

I encountered the same "bug" (with accent) . I have submitted it to the 
issue tracker :
http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/FOR-345
I believe the bug comes from the file "sitmap.xmap" (see the issue for a 
suggestion).

Looking at that the source of that document I see that the link is 
marked up as:

<strong><a href="#geoloc">Geographic locations</a></strong>

whilst the intended destination of the link is:

<a name="adl%3Ageographic+locations"></a>
<h3 class="underlined_5">adl:geographic locations</h3>

What appears is happening is Forrest is rewriting the anchor name for 
use in the  table of contents, thus breaking your original link. This is 
a bug (probably in html2document.xsl), please submit it to the issue 
tracker and if you patch the file please add the patch to the issue too.
