Button to reload the page and go to a section with a hash mark

While there are lots of ways to code it so a button reloads the page, it was hard to figure out how to do it in such a way that it goes automatically to a URL with a hash. So here is my solution that works, finally. Update - better solution: Here is a better solution, since the one below worked for me on any page except the domain root. It may be the way my CMS is set up or it may be the way my server is set up, or most likely I'm missing something fundamental about the way the function works. Anyway, the better solution I've gone with doesn't include the hash in the URL, but it reloads to the point the user was last browsing at, which for my purposes worked out the same as the hash.

So the lack of easy horizontal centering is a highly significant drawback IMHO (most people do want to center images in an article!) However, this issue is made up for by other things in Grav: the relative speed, ease and flexibility of custom theming and built-in suppor
