via https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48169995/pandoc-how-to-link-to-a-section-in-another-markdown-file Part of how Pandoc handles the Markdown files is by concatenating all of them. So the anchors need to be unique in the book. to do: * links to page, like "#p189". Links are already present. For anchors, we have to revise and redo the epub to markdown conversion. * links to chapters, like, maybe "#chapter1"? There aren't anchors or links yet. * links to sections. Rewrite links. currently: "#section1", in multiple chapters. "#sect6_4"? "#ch6_4"? "#chapter_6_4"? Add anchors; those for Github and Pandoc aren't compatible. pandoc: #a-set-of-searching-tools github: norvig#64-a-set-of-searching-tools
About to extend it, renaming it to better fit its purpose
Between chapters, without anchors, change the link to e.g. "#chapter15_top". I'll add those anchors in another commit.

We use Pandoc to generate an epub from our Markdown chapters. Part of that workflow (Pandoc concatenating all the Markdown files) breaks links between chapters. This PR would let those work.
Useful links:
#p189dots - like
#section_15.1- should work but make me nervous. they could complicate the regexes, I suppose.This PR would let those work, but doesn't add all the needed anchors and links.
To do:
There are around 282 sections, 130 links to those sections, and 1k pages, which is a lot to wade through to review; that's a WIP for a later PR.
