[bug#49886] [PATCH v2] Add gitile and gitile service

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hi Julien!

Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu> skribis:

Right, you cannot cross-reference a heading; you’d need either a node or
an anchor so you can cross-reference it.

Yay! :-)

I’d call this field ‘unsafe-pattern’ for clarity.
