Provide an anchor/title mode

[tttp]

sausage is expecting the html structured around sections

<div class="section">
content
</div>
<div class="section">
content
</div>

However in my case (and I suspect others), I wanted it to work around anchors

<h2>Section 1</h2>
content
<h2>Section 2</h2>
content

I wrote a simple that looks for h2, adds the needed wrapping div "sections" between the h2 and the next one and it works. Was wondering if the need is common enough to be put back in sausage?

tttp, any chance you could provide that code?

(I've been arguing with the author of my HTML generator, asking that the section divs be annotated with a class of some sort, so hopefully I won't need it - but I may fail.)

I had to do a similar thing for the CouchDB guide example, however I would consider this a markup problem outside the realm of this plugin.

@gwern you can see an example function in this commit: christophercliff/couchdb-guide@438d7d9#L0R318

Thanks for the example; I managed to get the simpler example page working for gwern.net. It's pretty nice, all in all, although the shapes of the sausages indicates to me that it may not be working perfectly with all my heavily nested sections and subsections.

(BTW: "You're incouraged".)

After some consideration, I'm reopening this. Came to my attention that one of the more valid use cases for this would be lengthy blog posts with many sections. Authors writing in Markdown most likely won't have the knowledge or desire to overhaul their pages to accommodate the sausage.js markup requirements.

So the question is, how can this be accomplished without savaging the DOM?
