#389: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed

Sites like github and bitbucket have a feature where creating a headline in markdown i.e. by doing something like:

## my header

Automatically makes it into a a anchor that can be linked to. I would be great if this was possible in Quire.

Oh, and I must say - I LOVE quire!

Hi Oscar, Hummm I am not quite sure what you meant. Let's say I type

## my header

in a GitHub issue, it will appear like this: Screen Shot 2017-05-08 at 10.03.32 AM.png But GitHub does not seem to make it into an "anchor that can be linked to." Perhaps you can give me an example?

What github does it is that it creates a a-element inside header-elements, they appears next to the header-texts with a graphical link-symbol when the header is hovered over. The id of the a-element gets set to the text of the header so that the header can be linked to by using the header-text as the hash in the url. It would suffice to just set the id to the header, but this is practical because the url including the anchor-bit can be retrieved by just clicking the link-symbol which basically is a link to itself.

To be clear, follow this link: https://github.com/Clox/synka/wiki#and-a-second-header (notice the part after the #) It's a anchor-link to a header at the bottom of a page I just made. Then you can also hover over the headers to see the links, and inspect their html-code.

Hi Oscar, Thank you for the example. 👍 Basically, with an anchor link, you can click on the graphical link-symbol of a header to jump to a specific place in the web page. We will add it to our list of to-dos and get back to you when we have any news. 😃
