intrapage linking

[Dave Brondsema <da...@brondsema.net>]

I want to link directly to specific sections of a page.  I see that an
anchor is already created for each section, using it's title.  There is
also one right before it with an id number, like N10013.  Also, I can
specify id="some-val" as a section attribute and then an anchor with name
"some-val" is created.  Is this last way the best way to do it?  Does this
id->anchor conversion work for all elements, or just sections?

I think so. The other two methods seem not as good to me
as they change when the document is edited, which makes
them ineffective.

I just tried an experiment by putting an "id" attr on both li
and link elements and it worked. Not yet looked at the stylesheets.
