The cross-reference information is documented all over the place

[ericzolf]

I'm generally very satisfied with the documentation but how to cross-reference sections is a bit all over the place between anchors, ID generation, cross-reference, etc and difficult to grasp as a whole. As a colleague exactly asked me the same question, I create the following example:

= Test cross-references

[#explicit_section]
== Explicit section

Explicit section with an explicit anchor

== Implicit section

No explicit anchor means autogenerated ID used as anchor

== Internal References

All these internal references are working:

* <<Explicit section>> (works only because title doesn't look like an anchor, thanks to the blank)
* <<explicit_section>>
* <<explicit_section, Alternate 1st Name>>
* xref:#explicit_section[Another Alternate 1st Name]
* <<_implicit_section>>
* <<_implicit_section, Alternate 2nd Name>>
* xref:#_implicit_section[Another Alternate 2nd Name]

Perhaps a similar documentation could be added to the documentation and the different pieces of the puzzle be put together for newcomers?
