Hi there,
I'm using org2blog and trying to mark certain parts of a blog post
with a named anchor for permanent linking. However, org2blog relies on
Org's native HTML export, so really this post is just questions about
HTML Export.
I've managed to get sections anchored using a CUSTOM_ID property.
However based on
http://orgmode.org/manual/Internal-links.html#Internal-links
I was also expecting to be able to use #+NAME: foo in front of a
headline or even other elements like paragraphs, but this doesn't
work. Is this a bug, or am I misreading the manual?
Is there any way of creating an anchor for an arbitrary element,
short of some ugly "+HTML" hack?
By the way, this question is also being tracked here:
https://github.com/org2blog/org2blog/issues/239
Thanks!
Adam

You cannot use a NAME keyword to a headline (or an inlinetask).
CUSTOM_ID is morally equivalent, though.

Currently, "ox-html" doesn't create an anchor for named paragraphs,
unless the paragraph consists of an image only.
However, you can put targets anywhere in a paragraph using <<target>>
syntax.

Note that internal references are... internal. You can use them across
documents only when using Org publishing mechanism. IOW, <<target>>
doesn't create <a id="target"></a> anchor, but something like <a
id="org1234567"></a>.
