I'm looking at stdmarkup.php
## [[#anchor]]
Markup('[[#','<[[','/(?>\\[\\[#([A-Za-z][-.:\\w]*))\\]\\]/e',
  "Keep(TrackAnchors('$1') ? '' : \"<a name='$1' id='$1'></a>\", 'L')");

and http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-name

I'm trying to get an anchor such as
<http://ttc.org.nz/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TararuaFootprints/MangatainokaValley>
[[#Mangatainoka?Herepai?Ruapae]]
to work, (seems reasonable to me).

I'm not clear about how this regex works, but my studied
<http://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html>interpretation is

(?>  ---- no backtrack, but not really clear why () is required
\\[[\\[[#   to  \\]]\\]]     ---- is the scope of the expression (not sure
what /e does)
[A-Za-z] ---- anchor name has to start with A-Za-z, followed by
[-.:\\w] ---- character set of hyphen period colon and "word
character" A-Za-z0-9_, not sure why there is a \\ (escaped \)
* ---- repeat 0 or more times

so it looks like my anchor should work?

any suggestions appreciated

thanks

Simon

It's because the "hyphens" aren't in fact hyphens, but special characters.
Perhaps the anchor was copied and pasted from another place that
"smartens" what an author writes, such as Microsoft Word?

To get the anchor to work as posted, I had to delete the "hyphen" and
replace it with a -
