#Links to Subsections
I see a lot of posts these days that are large blocks of text. These are generally hard to read, and many people don’t read through the entire thing. To avoid this, you can use collapsable detail tabs, but for larger posts, I think it would be useful to have some sort of ability to link between various sections in your own post.
For example, if I discuss information relating to merching small pots, and then reference it later, for a large post, I would like to be able to click a link and jump back to small pots section that I am referencing in that same post.
In HTML, this is traditionally done with id tags like so:
Target:
<a name="name_of_target">Content</a>
Link to Target:
a href="#name_of_target">Link Text</a>
This has NOT worked for me when I have tried to make posts on the forum formatted with this method. Is there some other way that I can achieve this?
#Testing Area
This leads into my next point. The current method for posting on the forums allows you to use a combination of BBcode, markdown, and HTML without CSS. This can be convoluted at times. I was wondering if there is some hidden testing area that I could have access to where I would be able to load large posts and test to make sure everything works properly. I understand that there is the preview, but the preview section does not necessarily turn out exactly like the actual post. Things like links often bug out and do not work.
If there is not a testing area, is there a list of what elements of the post formatting are pulled from markdown, which elements are pulled from BBCode, and which elements are pulled from HTML?
