Export <<anchor>> to latex

Export <<anchor>> to latex

[Markus Grebenstein]

Dear List,

I am regularly running into problems with internal links to headings, 
since my document meanwhile is 200pp+ long and I tend to change headings.

Since I loose the ability to jump to the heading, I do not like to use 
the classic latex approach using \label.

I am wondering why anchors are not exported as a label. Alternatively 
having an "option" for headings would be nice like:
* Heading [label:anchor]

Is there a possibility to tweak orgmode to export anchors?

Thanks in advance,

Markus

I may be misunderstanding what you mean, but when I try exporting to latex
the following org file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

* foo
# <<fooanchor>>

foo text

* bar
# <<baranchor>>

bar text
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I get the following latex code:

,----
| ...
| \section{foo}
| \label{sec-1}
| \label{fooanchor}
| 
| 
| foo text
| \section{bar}
| \label{sec-2}
| \label{baranchor}
| 
| 
| bar text
| ...
`----

Isn't that enough?

Dear Nick,

that is even more than enough ;-)

Thanks a lot! That solves quite a bit of preoblems for me.

I tried to put the anchor in the line of the headline itself and it 
worked in orgmode but was not exported as I expected.

Best,

Markus
