anchor/link to ordered list item

Hi,

Is there a way to define an anchor/link to an ordered list item, kind of like
. item 1
[[step_2]]. item 2
. item 3
Refer to <<step_2>> for more info.

You need to put the anchor in the text of the list item.

. item 1

. [[step_2]]item 2

. item 3

Refer to <<step_2>> for more info.

It's exactly the same as <a name="step_2"></a> in HTML.

I think this should be documented:

Re: anchor/link to ordered list item

This kind of does what i want, i was hoping to be able to have the step number, what ever that was, come through. Something like:

This a line of text

. The first line of text

. The second line of text

. [[link_step]]This is the third line of text

Refer to step <<link_step>> for more info.

But then when the pdf is generated, it would say,

"Refer to step 3 for more info."

Is something like this possible?

You need to use reftext, either at the location of the anchor (e.g., [[link_step,3]]) or at the location of the reference to that anchor (e.g., <<link_step,3>>). The default behavior is to show the id.

This is explained here: http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#internal-cross-references (though that section definitely needs more work to cover the various cases more clearly).
