[Asterisk-Users] Labels and Goto()

[Julian Lyndon-Smith]

Um, followed the link on the extensions.conf page on voip-info

Since Asterisk 1.2 there is a new way to work around this. Number the 
first priority and "name" the following priorities "n". See Asterisk 
Priorities for further details!

I've realised that when people post documentation about something they think they understand, on incorrect or incomplete assumptions, that they invariably post something wrong, which just fuels more incorrect information, and hurts others. That's why it's the developers that should write the docs.

You then have to break a single extension up into multiple ones JUST to be able to use labels effectively.
