Extremely useful and simple

To tell the truth I had no hope searching for a plugin that would add links to headers. And I was so surprised when this plugin did exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Per Soderlind, for this plugin! P.S.: Sorry for my English, I am Russian.

Awesome plugin! Great time saver! A few suggestions.

This plugin saved me a significant amount of time adding anchor links throughout an existing website. It worked exactly as expected. My only suggestion would be a settings panel in the admin where users can specify exactly which header elements get anchor links automatically associated with them. So for example, I can go in and select "apply anchor links to

only." The ability to have a setting to turn on/off the hover link icon would be very helpful too. I had to manually edit the CSS to hide these icons on everything but H4's in my entry content.
