it did improve it. thank you. the above is concise and clear. suppose reader A wants to send a link to reader B. one exported [i did not use org's publish facility] post is https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2020/02/crimes-against-humanity_3.html . it has MANY sections. i turn off toc for a whole section and then put a toc in that section just to make the main toc less forbidding. here is the html for just the top few entries of the main toc -- notice 3 links each with a hex code that changes. <div id="table-of-contents"> <h2>Table of Contents</h2> <div id="text-table-of-contents"> <ul> <li><a href="#org360b8b5">This post</a></li> <li><a href="#orgdff6ff2">The name of the law</a></li> <li><a href="#orgeb015f7">Basic facts</a></li> suppose i add a section after This post. Most links will now be broken. A could have sent any of them to B as raw hex links. i just want the problem understood at the user level. i get that there are possible implementation issues. i spent 16 years researching and writing the blog post. i don't want links to be broken or to have to kludge in a bunch of custom id or org id properties drawers just in case somebody links. even if drawers are added to every linked section automatically, it's a lot of clutter and slowness [org id searches are slow and drawers have performance issues that are being worked on but not merged into maint yet]. that is a lot of drawers just for links that might or might not be sent. i am limited in computer use so i will probably not pursue this further if there is no interest. there is some interest. e.g. carsten said he thought tec's code or somethign like it should be merged into org qua org. -- The Kafka Pandemic Please learn what misopathy is. https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-some-diseases-are-wronged.html
