Problems with TOCs if sections have titles that are the same

We are finding that repeated titles in a doc messes up the TOC. See attached doc.

Wiki markup:

h1. About Cats
h2. Feeding
h2. Grooming

h1. About Dogs
h2. Feeding
h2. Behavioral Issues
h2. Grooming:

Results in a TOC like this:

About Cats
    Feeding
    Grooming
About Dogs
    Behavioral Issues

Hi Brad,

we already know of this problem and have a respective Jira-Ticket here: http://k15t.jira.com/browse/PDF-282
This will be fixed with the next version.

Best regards,
Jens

Hi Brad,

just a short update. Today I fixed this issue as much as it is possible.

More specifically:
- Duplicate headings will correctly appear in the TOC and PDF bookmarks
- Links from the TOC and PDF bookmarks to the sections will work correctly to each duplicated section
- Links from the content to a duplicated section will always link to the first occurrence
Unfortunately I can't fix that last issue, as this is the same behavior as in Confluence. The problem is that Confluence does not create distinct IDs (page anchors) for repeating headings on the same page. Therefore when clicking a link the Web Browser (and also the PDF viewer) picks the first one it can find

Hope that helps,
Jens
