 ### Changes
 
+- `adoc-goto-ref-label` (`C-c C-a`) now completes over the anchors defined in the buffer instead of asking you to type the id blind. It stays permissive, so an id that isn't defined yet can still be entered, and the cross-reference at point is still offered as the default.
 - The compilation error matcher now also recognises modern `asciidoctor:` diagnostics, not just the legacy AsciiDoc.py `asciidoc:` format, so jumping to warnings and errors works with current Asciidoctor output.
 - `[source,ocaml]` code blocks now fontify with `neocaml-mode` when it is available, falling back to `tuareg-mode` and then `caml-mode`. To support this, a value in `adoc-code-lang-modes` may now be either a single major mode or a list of candidate modes tried in order (the first defined one wins).

@@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ Here are some of the main features of `adoc-mode`:
 - heading navigation modelled on `markdown-mode` / `org-mode`: next / previous heading (`C-c C-n` / `C-c C-p`), forward / backward at the same level (`C-c C-f` / `C-c C-b`), and up to the parent heading (`C-c C-u`)
 - title management: promote / demote (`M-left` / `M-right`), toggle between one-line and two-line styles, adjust underline length
 - list editing: `M-left` / `M-right` nest the list item at point deeper or shallower, `M-RET` inserts a sibling item (incrementing the number for explicitly-numbered lists), `M-up` / `M-down` move an item (with its sub-items) past its siblings, and `M-x adoc-renumber-list` renumbers an explicitly-numbered list
-- navigate to anchors (`C-c C-a`) and follow URLs, `link:` and `include::` macros, and xrefs at point (`C-c C-o` / `M-.`), or by clicking them with the mouse
+- navigate to anchors with completion over the buffer's anchors (`C-c C-a`), and follow URLs, `link:` and `include::` macros, and xrefs at point (`C-c C-o` / `M-.`), or by clicking them with the mouse
 - an `xref` backend over anchors: `M-?` lists every cross-reference to the anchor at point, with the usual xref marker stack and completion UI
 - context-aware completion via `completion-at-point`: cross-reference ids inside `<<` / `xref:`, attribute names inside `{`, file paths after `include::`, and source-block languages inside `[source,`
 - nested `imenu` index with hierarchical heading structure
