[Python-markdown-discuss] Page internal links

[glin <gl...@se...>]

Hi, I'm sending patch, that adds possibility to create links to headings 
(so it is possible to create links using #rel appended to url) - just 
like in trac wiki.

Just added 2 lines of code, and I think it is quite useful.

It adds attribute 'id' to h1-h6 elements created from heading. Value of 
'id' attribute is set to text of heading without spaces.

Example:

# Heading One

......some text here.... and finally comes [link to heading 
one](#HeadingOne)


Output:
<h1 id="HeadingOne">Heading One</h1>
<p>......some text here.... and finally comes <a href="#HeadingOne">link 
to heading one</a>
</p>

I reconsider this, and just "without spaces" is not enough. Some 
function, which would convert heading text to identificator would be 
much better (special characters like (){}[]/#%&? etc. etc. must be 
replaced and characters with accents should be replaced, too.
Do you have idea where to get such a function?

I appreciate your work on this, but Markdown already has a commonly
accepted syntax for this. See PHP-Markdown Extra [1] for a nice
description. Additionally, as the official syntax (from JG) mentions
nothing of this behavior, it should be an optional addon, like it is
in PHP.  Of course, Yuri will make the final call on that.

I started working on an extension for this some time ago, but ran into
some weirdness with the regex and haven't had the time to play with it
since. Perhaps I'll post what I had when I get home (assuming I still
have it and can find it).
