#anchor links are not sent to web servers, they are local web browser only. I suspect for the purposes of mod_rewrite you can ignore them.

ok, modrewrite is not quite right:

RewriteRule ^/community(.*) http://archive.monome.org/community$1

this is great for backwards compatibility with .html-less links, but it breaks the base url’s:

http://archive.monome.org/community
http://archive.monome.org/community/

any suggestions to fix this but keep the fix for extension stripping?

How about this?

RewriteRule ^.*community(/|)$ http://archive.monome.org/community [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)[^\.html]$ $1.html
```
This tester is very helpful:

ok, reviving this because it never got fixed, which makes the archive look just broken. that tester site doesn’t support the query unfortunately.

again here’s what i’m using

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

/community

../community.html

and

/community/

/.html

i’m hoping to simply have an overriding condition that the root is not treated by the condition.

So nothing I suggested worked? It’s hard to write rewrite rules without testing them. I don’t have access to your web server and content. That’s why I just limited myself to syntax the tester does support. The suggestions I made appeared to work in the tester. Maybe somebody else around here is a better apache/regex wizard than I am.
