Hi

Not sure if this is the right place, but....  
I used URLs to module documentation a lot, for instance:

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/docker\_container\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/docker_container_module.html)

But what I most of the time want, is to pinpoint to a specific  
parameter of a module.  
This isn't possible because the HTML doesn't contain any anchors.  
Would this be a nice feature to add?  
The list of parameters seems to be a table so it could be as simple as  
adding an anchor to each row called "parameter\_\<parameter name\>"?

thx

Hi Dick,

it's probably better to create an GH issue for this.

Definitely! I've missed that myself several times already.

Yes, it should be pretty easy to add. Can you create an issue and CC me  
in there (@felixfontein on GitHub). I might create a PR for it this  
weekend or so.

Cheers,
