In the link I presented a while ago (http://snipurl.com/no8s),
you might have noticed that the headings are clickable.
Headings now link to itself. Again, this is borrowed from
the MPL docs. This allows you to right click and copy
the URL, for example (especially useful in deeply nested
sections). You know where you are, anywhere.
So my final advice is to remove this mis-feature, and have the MPL docs
purge it too.
Good points! Thanks for taking the trouble to explain in detail.
Makes perfect sense, IMO.
Not to me. Despite what Daryle says, the feature hurts nobody (or at
least he hasn't explained why it hurts anyone), and once you discover
it's there, it's very useful. If there were a more explicit way to
implement those links without interfering with presentation, I might
go for it, but I don't have any brilliant ideas and nobody else has
offered any so for now, that's the best we can do.
It is very useful indeed. I can attest to that. It's very useful for
me when I have to provide someone with information. I can simply
right click and grab the URL of the specific section I wish to
share. The alternative would be to go back to the table of contents
and grab the link there. Two more clicks away, and possibly error
prone (I have to verify that what I grabbed is the correct section).
So... yes, Daryle, I'd like to hear if you have a better suggestion.
