Slidy slides: automatically generated internal links broken

In response to a question that I asked on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/q/29454614/3143179), it was suggested that I make the following feature request.

Briefly, my request is that internal links in Slidy slides open the relevant slide. Currently, they seem to do nothing; I include a minimal example in the linked question (above) on stackoverflow. One responder to my question explains that internal links in Slidy slides made with pandoc do not open the relevant slide because Slidy does not support links to <div> (http://stackoverflow.com/a/29527497/3143179). The responder says that reveal.js slides produced with pandoc do have the desired effect.

Thanks for your work.

It seems that slide uses the fragment identifier (the part after the hash in the URL) to keep track of which slide you're on, so all internal links generated by pandoc won't work.

However, yhou can always write your own links liek [link](#(1)) where 1 is the slide number you want to link to...

Maybe there's an option in slidy to disable the usage of the fragment identifier. Alternatively we could change the pandoc output to link to the correct slide...

That would probably be best, if we can do it without too much mess.
