Re: [O] Structured links to headings with endless depth

I don't think this should be in org-mode, it is still too fragile in many ways. For example, what if you have a colon in your headlines, e.g. "A chapter about Romans 15:13". That will will mess up the suggested approach that splits on ":". What if you have duplicate headlines in a hierarchy,

John, thank you for this solution! I posted this question also here: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/39384/18760 So if you wish, you may add your solution also there. Somebody there, posted also a possible solution however the syntax is pretty heavy:

Re: [O] Structured links to headings with endless depth

This is a tricky problem to generally solve. I think this does it approximately well enough. It is lightly tested and works by exactly matching headlines at subsequent levels. It will be problematic if you have headlines with : in them, and it assumes there is a level 1 headline to start in.

Re: [O] Structured links to headings with endless depth

Hello, Ss Christian has pointed out - introduce a separate CUSTOM_ID for text with fixed structure and rather short verses is too heavy. I do need to write a custom link type, if this use case is not of common interest for the orgmode community. Thank you, On Mon, 2018-03-12 at 15:10 +0100,

Thank you for your reply. I'm not that experienced in writing in lisp. Is it difficult to create such custom link type? What is the closest link type that you would recommend to take as starting point (link on code, if possible)? Thank you! On Mon, 2018-03-12 at 14:08 +0100, Christian Moe

Re: [O] Structured links to headings with endless depth

PS: It doesn't have to be Bible. Links in form of citations, like [[MyBook:Chapter 1:Section 5:Subsection 3]] Is quite useful in general. Where #+LINK: MyBook path/to/MyBook.org::*%s It is both readable as raw text and clickable. Maybe it will be a good idea to be able to also add a <> at the

Re: [O] Structured links to headings with endless depth

Adding an extra <> is not an option, as it will make the text less readable, and there is no need in this, as the headings tree structure is already there: * 1 ** 1 ** 2 *** 1 Why should I turn it into the following * 1 ** 1 ** 2 *** 1 <<1>> and then link with [[file:1]]?!... This both: a)

[O] Structured links to headings with endless depth

Hi, after reading the manual I didn't find a way to construct structured links referring to headings with endless depth, like: having an file.org: * 1 ** 1 ** 2 *** 1 <---link here with the link: [[path/to/file.org::*1:2:1]] Is this possible or should I file it as feature request? PS: It
