Description
When inserting a link to a Wikipedia article in a TimelineJS3, a short extract from the beginning of that article/page is created and displayed. And a clickable link is made available, taking the user to that same Wikipedia article.
Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage
However, if one inserts a link to a section of that article, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthage#Archaeological_site, in the Timeline JS3 slide, the Wikipedia link is correctly created to that section, but the extract is still extracted from the beginning of the page/article.
It would be a nice improvement if an extract pointing to a section were created from that section.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No file or test is named. Reproduce the existing behavior in a TimelineJS3 slide with the full Wikipedia URL and with the #Archaeological_site section URL, then trace the link and extract handling. Done means a section link still points to that section and its extract comes from the relevant section rather than the article beginning.
