Permalink Filter provides a content filter that automatically adds permalinks to
heading tags in your content.

Permalinks are characters or text (typically '#', '¶' or '§') that are displayed
next to headings and which link specifically to that heading via a unique ID.
The ID is generated from the text of the heading (for cleaner URLs), unless the
heading already has an ID attribute (in which case it is used instead).

You can customise:

  • Which heading types the links are added to (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6)
  • The character/text to use for the links
  • Where the links are positioned (before or after the heading)
  • Whether default styling is applied to the links (e.g. hover over a heading for
    the link to appear)

Installation

  • Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at
    https://backdropcms.org/guide/modules.

  • Visit the 'Text editors and formats' page under Administration > Configuration
    > Content authoring (admin/config/content/formats) and configure the text
    format you'd like to enable the Permalink Filter on.

  • Tick the 'Add permalinks to heading tags' box to enable the filter, and make
    sure it appears towards the end of the filter processing order (the exact
    position will depend on what other filters are enabled). Save.

  • Visit the configuration page under Administration > Configuration > Content
    authoring > Permalink filter (admin/config/content/permalink-filter) and
    adjust the settings as appropriate for your site.

  • (Optional) Style the permalinks with your own custom CSS.
