Description Dan Jacobson 2011-09-20 14:50:30 UTC 
==Nurdsburg==
produces
 Nurdsburg [edit]
Well that is very well and good, but other software already produce
 Nurdsburg [link] [edit]
which allows the user to copy a link to the section anchor without needing to dig it out of the TOC, (if there indeed is a TOC!)

Just imagine Google Maps without a "link to this map", or a Picassaweb with no "link to this photo", or a YouTube with no "share, link", etc. etc.
You might argue that yes there are plenty of "link to this page" spots the user can copy the URL from... but then I will argue that you are offering edit links but not "link links" to the same granularity.

I'm not asking for a goofy "Share" button or plug-in, just a basic HTML link to allow the user access to copy more exact links, without relying on him poking around for the TOC, if any.

Indeed, even here in Bugzilla one finds such conveniences right here in this very bug.
