We've got a nasty issue. A lot of our documentation consists of large pages. For a better navigation within the page, we use a lot of anchors. If one of those anchors is accidently formated as heading, it is also recognized by the TOC-macro.

Problem is:

If you add a link to a heading-formated anchor somewhere on the page and click it, the link points to the TOC listing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

* Write a page with several headings

* Put an anchor somewhere on that page and format it as heading (h1-h6 work fine ... doesn't matter).

* Create a link pointing to that anchor

* Add the TOC-macro on top of the page

* Click the link.

Hi Dominic,

I don't think that this is an error. The toc-macro lists all the headings in the page. If your anchors are headings, the macro is doing its job fine.

The other way round: if someone creates a heading as an anchor intentionally. How would you explain him / her that this heading is not shown in the toc ?

Cheers

Thomas
