The issue with warnings is that I don't see them.... Though an error seems a bit drastic here. The attached patch inserts a link without the anchor and issues a warning if exporting such links without ox-publish. >> The internal link cannot be known without the file, as it is of the form >> orgheadlineN where N=n+1 and n is the number of headlines prior to >> "*Something"... > > Sure - this is obvious. Actually, the error you found is more interesting than what I first though, as any link with anchors will trigger the error, it seems. org-publish-cache must be non-nil, which seems to linger on publishing a project. —Rasmus -- Don't panic!!!
