URL as anchor links in collections

[pl-mnm]

Hi. I have a bunch of files in a directory which I'd like to output on a page (via collections) but not to separate files, and I'd like these sections to have a URL with an anchor which I can reference elsewhere. So for example:

/some-directory
  /another-dir/
    index.njk
    /sections
      sections.json
      section-1.md
      section-2.md
      ...

where the URLs would be /some-directory/another-dir#section-1, /some-directory/another-dir#section-2, ...

// index.njk

{% for item in collections.sections %}
    {{ item.url }}
{% endfor %}

I'm really scratching my head on this one, but all I got is some convoluted way to try to get the parent path in the front-matter, but it's really messy, not dynamic and I don't have a single value to call later:

// sections.json

{
  "permalink": false,
  "anchorPath": "some-directory/another-dir",
  "tags": "sections"
}

Would the upcoming computed data feature be the most practical way to do this or am I missing something?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Would markdown-it-anchor help you in the meantime?

This looks like a job for pagination navigation.

@Ryuno-Ki Although I could consider having each entry in a single md file, it doesn't seem as if I'd be able to iterate over a list of anchors elsewhere in the site. @reubenlillie This could do the trick, I need to dig into this a bit more.

I believe this is a duplicate of #889, which will probably head into the enhancement queue soon.
