Feature request: Anchor tags for H1, H2, H3... elements

[saurabhnanda]

I wanted to specifically link to Haskell eval blocks at https://theam.github.io/tintin/05-formatting-your-docs.html but was unable to do so.

Picked up Tintin again for a side project and immediately felt the need for this (I tend to put a ToC at the top of a long page).

Scratch my own itch here?

The issue with this is that the HTML rendering is handled by inliterate. This should probably be a ticket in that repo

[saurabhnanda]

@NickSeagull so IIUC, tintin utilizes inliterate to convert each markdown files(in the doc folder) to something that looks like https://github.com/diffusionkinetics/open/blob/master/plotlyhs/gendoc/GenDocInlit.hs . It adds a bunch of headers, footers, navigation, and CSS style in the process. Conversion from the "unified" markdown+haskell file to actual HTML is handled by inliterate. So, the complete pipeline looks like this:

markdown 
  => tintin "preprocessor"
  => markdown+haskell file
  => inliterate preprocessor
  => haskell file
  => ghc compilation
  => run the code which prints the final html

It this broadly accurate?

Yes, that is 100% correct @saurabhnanda 🙂
