Linking to slides by name/ID

[benui-dev]

I couldn't find any mention of this on the documentation, is there a way to allow linking to particular slides by a named ID rather than slide index?

You can name slides using id attributes and link to them with href="#/<id>". Here's an example from the docs:

<section>
	<a href="#/grand-finale">Go to the last slide</a>
</section>
<section>
	<h2>Slide 2</h2>
</section>
<section id="grand-finale">
	<h2>The end</h2>
	<a href="#/0">Back to the first</a>
</section>

Issue #2276 questions that above link format, which results in broken links (e.g., search engines do not understand that an id is supposed to be referenced). Links without the / after # seems to work partially...

If you use the Markdown plugin, apply Markdown > Element Attributes to every slide involved.

<!-- .slide: id="grand-final" -->

Multiple slides within the same <script type="text/template">...</script> or within the same Markdown file are separated by ---.
