What led you to come up with this interpretation? [3]. A target *reference* will *always* export and create a clickable link irrespective how the target is *defined*. Read on... > [1] This is the replacement for invisible targets, since they cannot > live in comments anymore. I think there is an element of confusion about what invisible target is. After some digging, I realize that they were originally called as invisible anchors. The manual [1] has the following note: ,---- | * Matt Lundin has proposed last-row references for table formulas | and named invisible anchors. `---- The original post [2] from Matt says ,---- | # <> | | should become | | `---- Now the question is what is invisible? The "description" in becomes invisible. Why was the term invisible chosen in the first place. For this one has to look at the the "default" behaviour for targets which is to export with *both* the anchor name and anchor description. So, I think a correction is in order.
