I wanted to use the nifty square-bracket links to point someone to a particular named anchor in a document (the hash-mark part of the URL: #fragment), so I did this: [perlman:perltie#Tying_Hashes|tying a hash]but the resulting page had a link with the fragment indicator in the wrong spot, like this: tying a hash, which of course results in a "Not found" when you click on it.

After poking around a while, I settled for just referring to the whole page.

So do I have to use a regular anchor-and-href link if I want a fragment in the URL?

I couldn't find anything about this -- positive or negative -- in the site docs. If it's there and I missed it, please point out how you found it. (Don't give me a fish, help me to fish for myself in the future. ;-)
