Template:Article section/doc

Usage
This simple template is used to generate a link to a certain section of the current/associated article or other non-talk page, and render an appropriate section mark (§). This link points to a section of the article or page, even if it the template is used within that article's talk page.

This template is meant to save the editors from writing the same thing twice. For example, instead of the following:
 * within Talk:History of IBM, or
 * within History of IBM article

...you can write:

...which is much shorter and does not require you to search for the section mark character.

Both generate:




 * Q: What if the target anchor is different from what must be displayed?: A: This might happen if the section title contains characters that cannot appear in an HTML anchor or HTML ID. In that case, you are already in need of writing the ID and the display text separately; use of this template would be pointless as it only makes you type an additional "article section|". Stick to standard Wikipedia linking syntax.
