Description

Sections, especially headings, can be made link-targets by adding the id="#xyz" element, yielding for example html headings like the following example.

Problems occur if the same link target is defined several times (also shown below).

<h2 id="seealso">First Heading</h2>
<h2 id="seealso">Second Heading</h2>
<a href="#seealso">Duplicate definition - where shall I go now?</a>

Checking of external links postponed
In the current {revision} we won’t check external links. These checks have been postponed to later versions.
String Similarity Checking with Jaro-Winkler-Distance
The small java-string-similarity library (by Ralph Allen Rice) contains implementations of several similarity-calculation algorithms.
