Internal Links

Hi

Just wondering how Pier deals with internal links in a document, looks pretty obscure to me.

The straight way would go for *An anchor>#anchor* but it doesnt work. Instead I get a structure creation link.

Then there is a brief note about a '@-' syntax in the FAQ
http://www.piercms.com/doc/faq?_s=0yEtAEezi_Bi-svF&_k=dJKceJ4N&_n&26#183366425

I try different thing, like  *An anchor>@anchor*,  *An anchor>@-anchor*,  *An anchor>.@anchor*
but well, no magic works and this is definitely not intuitive.

The syntax is backward compatible with SWiki.

Thanks for reporting. This was broken and is fixed in:

Name: Pier-Seaside-lr.321
Author: lr
Time: 2 December 2008, 6:31:42 pm
UUID: 7d3f5f83-7508-480e-9e62-4f747e89ed68
Ancestors: Pier-Seaside-lr.320

- fixes the missing fragment

The "@" is used to define anchors within the document to jump to. The
same character is used to define the jump target within anchors.

Paths can be absolute (starting with "/") or relative (everything
else). ".." represents the parent, "." represents the receiver itself.
This is exactly like on Unix or even Windows.

So the following document works for me:

@top

[lots of lines of text]

*goes to the top>@top*
*goes there as well>.@top*

mmm, ok, but it should be said somewhere :) (and I've never used swiki)



Actually it doesnt work out of the box. When I update all packages  
with Monticello, then it works. I didn't take time to track which  
update did the correction though.
