InfoUrl bug

I just discovered a bug in the use of InfoUrls. Well, it is probably more an oversight than a bug, but nevertheless:
Let??s say i have a website with info on two planets:

1. Venus
2. Earth

Now, if the articles are long, each one gets its own page. No problem there.
But: if they are very short, it makes more sense to put both articles in the same HTML document.

The standard way of linking to an article, then, will be:
http://www.whatever.com/thepage#earth

... Which causes the browser to open the page and automatically scroll down to the relevant section.

The problem is that the SSC file treats the # symbol as a comment tag. This breaks the URL.

What we need, obviously, is an escape character for the # symbol.

Runar,

Usually the backslant character (\) is used to quote characters. Did you try that?

(I haven't tried it yet.)

Yes. It just broke the SSC file.
