Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] New TOC extension.

Hi Jack,

Interesting. I was just thinking about how to do that the other day.
It looks like your approach is very similar to how mine would have
been.

There is a few things though:

* Why are you creating anchors in each header? Why not just assign
each header an "id" attribute? That is generally considered the
correct way to do things and works just the same.

* It would be nice if it worked with the HeaderID extension. That is,
if a header already has an id attribute, that is used rather than
recreating one which may be different.
