Hello everyone,

I'm following up on a separate thread that dates back to May of 2011.

We're still faced with the issue of not being able to create working
internal links (i.e. for a table of contents) at the top of sections in our
user manual.  This has resulted in pretty poor usability for our manuals
since these links at the top of the page are broken and we have a lot of
content that is buried down these individual pages.

>From discussion on the past issue -

we
had identified that this was an Objavi issue.

Luka, have you had time to look into a resolution for this?

Here's a summary of what's happening.

1) Create anchor and then created an internal link at the top (i.e. <a
href="#anchor-name">...
2) While in the booki editing/viewing interface these links would work fine
with them properly going to the anchored section further down the page.
3) However once published, the internal links weren't formed properly.

For example on the How to Work with Roles, Permissions, and Systems Users
page, while viewing you can click through to the anchors successfully:
http://booki.flossmanuals.net/mifos-user-manual/edit/#hierarchies

However on the published page, the URLs are as such:

On the chapter, How to define new and change existing loan products (
http://en.flossmanuals.net/mifos-user-manual/ch024_how-to-define-new-and-change-existing-loan-products/
)

Likewise inserting a forward slash causes different results.

The anchor link formed when inserting <a href="#waive-interest"> is:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/mifos-user-manual/ch024_how-to-define-new-and-change-existing-loan-products/how-to-define-new-and-change-existing-loan-products/#waive-interest

If I add <a href="/#waive-interest">, the url becomes:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/#waive-interest
