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.
