Re^2: propose updating node about linking to cpan modules

[choroba]

A [...] style link could not achieve this

[href://?node_id=43037#cpan] -> ?node_id=43037#cpan

[kcott]

Thanks, and I see it is documented in Shortcuts: General-Purpose Linking (markup: [href://?node_id=43037#general|Shortcuts: General-Purpose Linking]).

As tye indicated earlier, a fix such that [id://43037#general|...] works the same would be good.

And did you actually test the link that you produced?

[choroba]

It leads to the same page as the link in the node I replied to. Or, does it work differently for you?

[tye]

My apologies. When I tested the URL, it didn't scroll down to the specific section. Now it does. And now I see that you used the relatively new href://, which is unusual in not escaping "#" in URLs (though we should just "fix" the other link shortcuts on that specific point).
