Anchors and Linking to Anchors
An anchor is a in-page link target - it allows incoming links to target locations on the page other than section headings.
The anchors are automatically generated in case of the section headings. For example, a section named "Section One" generates a Section_One anchor, and the heading can be linked to by prepending "#Section_One" to the usual wiki #Links. In case of multiple sections with identical headings, the anchor names have a "_2", "_3", etc appended starting from the second occurrence.
Manual anchors can be also inserted and used in links:
<span id="anchor_name"/>
Anchor Names
Heading Name | Anchor |
Test | #Test |
Section One | #Section_One |
Capitalization does Matter | Capitalization_does_Matter |
Special Anchors
#toc links to the table of contents.
