How to create ad hoc HTML anchors?

[Pete]

What I want to do is write the .rst code for this HTML output:

instead of:        <strong>energy</strong>
it has to be:      <strong id="energy">energy</strong>

How is this done?  The .rst code I'm using now is:   **energy**

This will be used hundreds of times (using a software program to convert source into .rst files) in a multipage document (~150 .rst files) so a simple reference label approach, such as `.. _energy:`  would likely be created on different pages, generating multiply-defined errors.

BTW, the word "energy" is just an example of the type of words that word be anchored.

Looks as if you want the glossary directive (and the term role):

You can make it a inline hyperlink target like so:

I love the big _`energy` of it all.
And I often use energy_ for fun.

This result is what you get:

<p>I love the big <span class="target" id="energy">energy</span> of it all.
And I often use <a class="reference internal" href="#energy">energy</a> for fun.</p>

Cheers,

Martin.
