Inline anchors with the form [#anchor]#Text to anchor# do not show up in the list of available anchors

[RayOffiah]

Observed vs. expected behavior

When anchoring a piece of inline text like this:

[#anchor]#Text to anchor#

The anchor is not added to the list of valid anchors for the page.

This means that it is flagged as an error (anchor doesn't resolve) and cannot be picked from the list.

Steps to reproduce

Add an anchor to the inline text as described above.

Attempt to create a link.

The anchor does not show up as a possible link.

Workaround

The inline anchor form:

[[anchor]]Text to anchor

works correctly.

Thanks for reporting this. I can confirm that those inline anchors are not supported, yet. I'll need to find out how to support those in a future version of the plugin. It might be a bit tricky to add this to the parser.

No worries. 👍🏾

As I said, there is a workaround. 🙂
