Hello everyone,
I'm begin to using zim again after a while and I find it very fitying my
needs (simple journaling and tasks and notes). I'm wandering if there is
somthing like an anchor inside the notebook page (and the possibility to
link to it)or if not (I didn't find it as for now), if such thin
Thanks Dan -
Yes it's comprehensible, though implementation of implicit anchors
might be complex. The issues mentioned could be just the tip of the
iceberg. For instance, what happens when someone changes the text of a
heading which is serving as an anchor?
Since Zim uses plain text files, any im
@Jaap: Thanks for pointing out the open request in the bug tracker.
I'll remember to check the tracker in the future, before posting here
to the mailing list. Have now bookmarked that open request, and will
check it in detail after making more progress on folding.
BTW your message somehow escaped
Hi,
my idea was exactly that the user would not need to specify the anchor
at all, every heading would implicitly behave as one.
Let's say that a part behind # aims to an anchor. When resolving a link,
Zim would check "explicit anchors" and then headings (therefore
implicit, and maybe unwante
Hi again.
As to the "if one page gets large enough to require
local links, then perhaps it should be broken up into multiple pages":
That is a fair point. It is however sometimes good to have also an
overall view, not having everything fragmented into single
one-screen-sized pages. The answer t

I'm also interested, I don't see anything missing.
I end up with the following comment :
- is it interesting to add a contextual menu to headings when
rigth-clicking : "Get Anchor" ?
When you use Mediawiki, you always have the Table Of
There has been an open request for this in the bug tracker for some time,
including some example code how to add this feature.
I think most discussion in the thread is also already found in the comments
of the bug report.
Please check if there is anything missing there and if so please add to the
Yes Brian, I also use headings and the ToC plugin. There would be one
main advantage of linking to an anchor on the same page: to avoid
duplication of information.
A counter-argument might be: if one page gets large enough to require
local links, then perhaps it should be broken up into multiple p
Thanks, Dan -
It certainly may be convenient, in some cases, to link to a heading.
Explicit anchors would allow increased flexibility and, IMO, anchors
would facilitate both usage and implementation.
However, I would be interested to learn the details, about how the
user might specify a heading a
This could be combined, i.e. headings could serve as implicit anchors.
That would make such feature even smoother to use.
And yes, I am one those who would welcome the possibility to link a
specific place in a page.
Best regards,

I've been interested in such a feature, though for now I just use
headings in the wiki pages and use the Table of Contents plugin. It
would be nice to link to a specific anchor point on a page from another
page though.

As a fairly new Zim user, perhaps it's just that I've yet to discover
how to create an Anchor. Have already looked very thoroughly, though,
before asking here.
Good to hear that there is interest in the feature. If you do find an
existing way to create an anchor, please let me know! Thanks
An "anchor" allows linking to a specific place (target) on a page. If
Zim supported anchors, you could link to an anchor on the same page,
or to an anchor on another page.
WikiMedia syntax supports anchors, so the precedent exists. Of course,
anchors are also very commonly used in HTML on the Web
