Anchors on figures and listings

[elbow-jason]

I have noticed that there are anchor tags on sections and subsections. It would be nice to have anchor tags on the figures' names as well. For example (from the book):

Listing 5-15: Implementing the can_hold method on Rectangle that takes another Rectangle instance as a parameter

The text Listing 5-15 would be a clickable/fragment-navigable link just like sections and subsections.

Yep! I've often wanted this myself. I'm not sure the best way to implement this, and since this doesn't affect print at all, it'll be a while before Steve or I has time to work on this. So if someone wants to help out on this, that would be awesome!

I'd like to claim this one.

Would it make sense to incorporate this into mdbook's HTML renderer? For example, whenever including images we could also automatically insert an anchor tag or id which uses a "slugified" version of the figure's alt text.

For example,

![Listing 5-15](img/listing_5_15.png)

would be translated into

<img src="img/listing_5_15.png" alt="Listing 5-15" id="listing-5-15" />

Then whenever you want to refer to that image you'd be able to use its id

For example, as seen in [Listing 5-15](#listing-5-15), blah blah blah.

The problem is these aren't usually images, they're code blocks, and it's not every code block :-/

I had a feeling that'd be the case when I saw the word "listing", but it was worth a shot :)

The fix for this had to be reverted, so I'm re-opening it.
