Here you have a good example of this nice module used on a page in Chinese:
http://fongcaifong.menwai.tw/node/22

Note that because of transliteration problems, the anchors are completely meaningless.
Here is the list of anchors generated for that page:

#header-1
#_
#_-2
#header-3
#._
#._NO.1
#._18
#._30-33.1F
#._B1
#._AB
#._121
#._98
#_-4
etc. ...

I don't know why some are of the style #header-n and others are different.

For that site, the best would be to have an option NOT to use the content of the headers within the anchor at all. Simply use #header-n everywhere, or, better, use an number of the levels in the anchor:
#section-1
#section-1-1
#section-1-2
#section-2
#section-2-1
#section-2-1-1
#section-2-1-2
#section-2-2
#section-3
etc.

The default (and only?) current option does not work on web sites with non-latin, not easily transliteratable scripts. For those site, the current behavior is buggy.

Thank you for this otherwise very nice module. :)

Hi Jennifer,

I was thinking about something like that. Not specifically for Chinese, but to simply get what you show with the #section example. It should be easy enough to offer that option.

Nice website. Are the mountains the Himalaya?

Thank you.
Alexis

thanks.

The himalayas would be much higher, snow-capped mountains.
I don't know which mountains they are. The picture came with the contributed theme:

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for the info! It looks like a nice theme.

I have put a fix with capabilities to do what you mentioned in your first post (among other things.)

To answer your question about the "header-1", "header-2", etc. whenever the system tries to convert a title into an identifier and that fails, it then generates a default identifier such as "header-<number>".

Don't hesitate to reopen this issue if it does not work for you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. I just upgraded to latest CVS. The implementation is very thorough! You can see the result of your work in the same page above.

While playing with the new settings, I ran into this bug:
#809756: List of tags allowed in table headers cannot exceed 128 chars.

I am grateful that you maintain this module so well.
Thanks again.

Jennifer,

One thing I wanted to mention, you may want to change the CSS somewhere to make the table wider. You have several sentences that have a line break... because by default the table is made 50% the width of the page.

.content .toc {
  max-width: 50%;
}

By changing this to 80%, it may look even better.

Thank you.
Alexis
