**Description:**
Dear friends,
You probably have written lots of lines where you refered to anchors with
characters others then A-Z, a-z, 0-9.
If used in sections the anchors *some characters* need to be specified with
".XX" values as ".2C" for "," etc. Normaly piped links should be used to have
readable result. If you are not shure which characters *must* be replaced you
need to make iterative tests.
enhancement request:
If a section contains characters which would generate ".XX" two anchors should
be generated
a) the same as until now
b) one which would "correspond" to simple "copy and paste"
http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Bugzilla_sections_and_anchors
shows olso examples where <nowiki> ... </nowiki> *must* be added in this case
but I consider this minor compared to ".XX" character conversion
c) situations as \\ where the section differs from the title etc. should be
documented
Maybe
bug 2346: "Special characters break section links in page history"
could be handeled by implementing this enhancement.
Impact on existing pages by the generation of *already existing* anchors:
I assume that very few pages would already have these "alternate" anchors.
Note: It is possible to simulate this with a template. Of course only if the
special characters are used in the section.
