- Pillar is not an Internet-related tool. It produces HTML, but not only: Pillar produces LaTeX and Markdown and we plan to make it support Docbook. For example, LaTeX uses \ref to represent anchors, should Pillar use \ref instead of @? - Creating anchors in the document is done through the @@ syntax. As a result, both links and anchors use the same character. Switching to # for links only would break this similarity. Switching to # for both links and anchors would break even more document and website (but I think that's ok). Breaking backward compatibility is ok, but we should pay attention when we do it. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
