Subject: Internal links syntax
I'm trying to create some internal links between pages but instead of going to the top of the "linked-to" page I want to go to a specific spot on the page, a spot that might be a few screens down the "linked-to" page. According to the wiki syntax page I am told I can do it with:

[[syntax#internal|this section]] which would link me to "This section" on another page.

What does the phrase "syntax#internal" mean?

If I'm on Page A and want to link to Section 12 of Page B what would be an example of "syntax#internal"?

Thanks for the help.

hi,

[[namespace1:namespace2:namespace3:Pagename#sectiontitle|The name you would like the link to have]]

[[namespace:page_B#section 12|Section 12]]

Koko, is an underscore "_" not needed anymore?
[[namespace:page_B#section_12|Section 12]]
I have good results with it. ;)

hi,

I never use section-links, so I have no idea whether you have put an underscore in the section title :-D
I'm glad you've got what you wanted ;-)

In fact it is not needed. In your special case above the following would result in exactly the same link with much less to write:

[[namespace:page_B#Section 12]]

DokuWiki automatically uses the Section name as link title. For the link itself the anchor is cleaned automatically, too ("Section 12" -> "section_12").

Hi there--

    I just stumbled across this discussion and it intrigues me greatly as creating internal links to a specific section of another page has been baffling me.  I've got the exact syntax recommended below, and the links work perfectly... sometimes.  Sometimes the link just redirects me to the top of the page instead of to a specific section.  Is there anything I'm missing?

Maybe if the page is not long enough and can't be scrolled any further? Otherwise I have no idea why this could happen...

I have a problem that I cannot get this kind of links to work if the link starts with a number or is not english. I mean

[[namespace:page#32nd]]

will not jump to the 32nd section. It will go to the right page. The same happens if I use greek language for the text.

Is this a dokuwiki issue or a browser issue? I use firefox.

I see that it is a Dokuwiki issue. I mean the source code generated is:

<h1><a name="nd" id="nd">32nd</a></h1>

I also tested with a plan html file and there doesn't seem to be a restriction on what name one can give. I don't know about XHTML, but I don't see why it should be a problem.

Is this then a bug that I should submit a report on?

I found the problem. I'll report it. A call to headerToLink is missing in the internallink function.

There is a bug in dokuwiki that most likely is the cause of this. A solution has been filed so I guess it should be fixed soon.

Hhmm, maybe it is already fixed in the dev-version. Do you use this version? If not, can you describe how i can see whether it is already fixed or not?

I use the debian version, not sure it is the dev or not. Anyway, check the file: inc/parser/xhtml.php
In the function: function internallink($id, $name = NULL, $search=NULL,$returnonly=false)

A bit down in this function it says (if not fixed):

        //keep hash
        if($hash) $link['url'].='#'.$hash;

it should, IMH :rolleyes: be:

        //keep hash
        if($hash) {
            $hash  = $this->_headerToLink($hash);
            $link['url'].='#'.$hash;
        }

This makes the links work.  :-)

hi,

I tried it in my wiki (i use the dev), but it hasn't been fixed yet... and if I try your fix, I can't get it working either
