⚓ Anchors ⚓

Build Status

This gem will add anchors to all of your websites h1-h6 headers. Its useful for static website generators, like Middleman. It turns this:

<body>
  <h1>How are you?</h1>
  <h2>I am fine<img src='hi.gif'/></h2>
  <h3>How are you?</h3>
</body>

into this:

<body>
  <h1 id="how_are_you"><a href="#how_are_you">How are you?</a></h1>
  <h2 id="i_am_fine"><a href="#i_am_fine">I am fine<img src="hi.gif"></a></h2>
  <h3 id="how_are_you_2"><a href="#how_are_you_2">How are you?</a></h3>
</body>

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'anchors'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install anchors

Usage

Just use the middleware from your rack config.ru file or Middleman config.rb file as follows:

require "anchors"
use Anchors::Middleware

and the body will automatically have anchors applied to all of the h1-h6 tags.

You can even customize it a bit:

require "anchors"
use Anchors::Middleware,
  css: "section.anchorize", # CSS headers are applied to. Defaults to 'body'
  seperator: "-",           # Change the seperator in the header. Defaults to '_'
  link: false               # Don't convert the headers into links to their own anchors. Defaults to 'true'.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
