changelog-slugs 0.1.0

Changelog-aware heading slugs for Python-Markdown’s toc extension

changelog-slugs

changelog-slugs provides changelog-aware heading slugs for Python-Markdown’s toc extension.

It is designed for Keep a Changelog style changelogs in projects following Semantic Versioning, where repeated subsection headings like Added and Fixed would otherwise receive unstable, order-dependent anchors. As new releases are added above older ones, those anchors can change, causing existing permalinks to become obsolete. changelog-slugs instead scopes subsection slugs to their containing release, producing stable anchors such as v1-2-3-fixed.

Installation

pip install changelog-slugs
