Go To Top URL on every heading

If you look at http://perl.apache.org/embperl/pod/intro/IntroEmbperlObject.-page-1-.htm#sect_1 you will see that at the right hand side of the heading there is a link that takes you to the top of the page.

With the introduction of the PatternSkin, we now have a 'go to end" at the top of the page and a "go to top" at the end of the page. Pesonally I've found this very useful So much so, in fact, that I long for more of the same.

I note that the Apache EmbedPerl site isn't using a HTML H1 or H2 to acheive this.

Could a similar thing be done for PatternSkin just with CSS or would it require modification to the render engine? Or perhaps another plugin?

use for where you want to specify a "jump to" location; use to create a link which jumps to it. is that what your asking about? or something more?

I know about targets in hyperlinks. You crafted that by hand. Most of my users are nowhere near as sophisticated. They just fill in the text with very basic formatting & markup. Asking them to do HTML as well ... no way!

What I was talking about was the automatic generation of such links, and only at the header points.

I think Anton means he'd like "to top" to appear next to every heading except the first.

Martin is right.

The pattern skin has heading which have coloured bars all the way across, just like the Apache Embperl site I referred to above.

Perhaps http://perl.apache.org/embperl/pod/doc/Config.-page-1-.htm#sect_2 is a better example as it has lots of headings. Look at the right hand side of the blue lines.
