This adds the ability to redirect URLs with `#` fragments. This is useful when section headers get renamed or moved to other pages. This works both for deleted pages and existing pages. The implementation requires the use of JavaScript in order to manipulate the location. (Ideally this would be handled on the server side.) This also makes it so that deleted page redirects preserve the fragment ID. Previously if you had a deleted page redirect, and the user went to something like `page.html#foo`, it would redirect to `bar.html` without the fragment. I think preserving the fragment is probably a better behavior. If the new page doesn't have the fragment ID, then no harm is really done. This is technically an open redirect, but I don't think that there is too much danger with preserving a fragment ID? |

Introduction
mdBook is a command line tool to create books with Markdown. It is ideal for creating product or API documentation, tutorials, course materials or anything that requires a clean, easily navigable and customizable presentation.
- Lightweight Markdown syntax helps you focus more on your content
- Integrated search support
- Color syntax highlighting for code blocks for many different languages
- Theme files allow customizing the formatting of the output
- Preprocessors can provide extensions for custom syntax and modifying content
- Backends can render the output to multiple formats
- Written in Rust for speed, safety, and simplicity
- Automated testing of Rust code samples
This guide is an example of what mdBook produces. mdBook is used by the Rust programming language project, and The Rust Programming Language book is another fine example of mdBook in action.
