  • Module features and usage
    • By default, the module automatically generates ids on <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, and <h6> elements within the page content
    • Even if two headings have the same content, the module will make sure their ids are unique, as well as making sure they are i18n-friendly, use hyphens instead of spaces, and are short enough to be useful
    • The module won’t interfere with or change manually-added or already-existing HTML ids
    • There’s a permission to view helpful links on each heading that the ids obvious and easy to copy
    • Configuration options include the root element it should look within (defaults to the body tag), which elements should get ids, what content to use for the displayed links, and whether or not generate ids on admin pages
