Thanks @fredden for reviewing this one again. I've fixed up both your remarks (locally) and will put them in the correct "originating" commit and rebase the PR (without any other changes but those mentioned above) before merging. |
Move the creation of in-page anchor link text to a separate function as this was done in two separate places. The separate function will make it more straight-forward to safeguard that the anchors and the links to these anchors stay in sync.
As things were, the TOC would link to the section headers, but there was no straight-forward way to copy the link to a particular section once a user was viewing the section. This small change adds an invisible `§` character after each section title, which becomes visible when the user hovers over the title and allows for copying the permalink to that section. Includes updated test expectations.
... to prevent issues with URL encoding. Note: as this _may_ result in duplicate anchor links, this commit includes a protection against this by adding a numeric suffix to the anchor if a duplicate is detected. Includes a test with a variety of non-ascii chars and duplicate titles. Includes updated test expectations for various other tests.
