HCL links broken

@adw

we’d somehow make every first cell unique, perhaps by incrementing them ( <machine> #1 , <machine> #2 , etc.).

@adw

non-technical fixes are possible, as explained above

Non-technical would mean:

• every single report needs its own file … even repeated reports from the same person for the same machine (e.g. R4.0, R4.1 reports)
• the HCL maintainer has to ensure correct numbering and not make any mistakes / duplicates

The full sentence was:

@adw

Ideally, either every row would naturally have a unique first cell (consistently merge all same-model reports), or we’d somehow make every first cell unique, perhaps by incrementing them ( <machine> #1 , <machine> #2 , etc.).

It sounds like you are considering the second idea (second half of the sentence) but not the first idea (first half of the sentence).

The first idea would involve merging all the reports that would result in identical first cells, with the result that every first cell is unique. This would mean that there are no longer any situations where multiple rows share the same slugified anchor link.

Perhaps this is also a bad idea, but if so, I haven’t heard why yet.
