Subject: Autolink plugin

I'm looking through the plugins list, I can't find a plugin which would simply take a page name, and then create the anchor links to link to the sections. This would be really useful for a FAQ type list. So, something like

* <autolink PageName>

Or something like:
<autolink PageName [prefix]>
ie
<autolink PageName * >

Which would generate:

* [[Pagename#Something]]
* [[Pagename#Another Link]]

I tried looking through the plugin's list, but couldn't find anything really (wasn't sure what to look for). If it doesn't exist, maybe I'll write it up.

Thanks!

IIRC there's no such plugin yet, but I think it would be very useful. Creating the plugin shouldn't be too complicated, the following two are your friends ;-):

// retrieves the toc for a given page ($ID) <dokuwiki>/inc/parserutils.php
$data = p_get_metadata($ID, 'description tableofcontents');
// builds a html list <dokuwiki>/inc/html.php
// you'll need a custom callback function (not html_li_default) to get the anchors right.
html_buildlist($data,$class,$func,$lifunc='html_li_default')

Cheers

Please add [SOLVED] to the initial thread subject if you feel your question has been answered.
