I want a permalink on each heading element

Submitted by Anonymous

A solution for this is currently in development. See the related links for more detail.

When you browse a web page, there should always be a permalink (e.g., a small chain icon) appearing near each heading element (h1h6) when you mouse-over them. This would enable you to share a direct link to that particular section. When clicking that permalink, the page URL should be directly changed to that DOM element using a dynamic fragment identifier (e.g., "BASE_URL#The-sub-title-2") and scroll the actual page content to make this particular header move to the top of the viewport.

Well-formatted GitHub README files do this nicely.
