Anchor links allow users to navigate long sections of content by creating jump points. This acts the same as links to other pages but within the same page or can be added to normal links to send the user directly to a certain section on a page.
When a section title on a paragraph is created, a little bit of extra code is added to allow it to act as an anchor link which allows editors to link directly to it and give the users a quick link to certain segments.
Same Page
- Create a link using the text editor
- Use the following format #SectionTitle
- Link will be the Section Title with no spaces and the first letter of each word capitalized
- Will not show up as autocomplete, trust it will work
Other Page
- Create a link using the text editor
- Search for the page you wish to link using the autocomplete
- Add #SectionTitle to the end of the link (/node/3#SectionTitle)
- Link will be the Section Title with no spaces and the first letter of each word capitalized
- Will not show up as autocomplete, trust it will work
Anchor links can be created inside any content that allows text to be managed in a Text Editor by creating a special type of normal link. Instead of filling in the Link URL field, fill in the ID field and the link will now act as an anchor.
Create an Anchor
- Write some content in a text editor
- Create a link using the link button in the toolbar
- Leave Link URL blank
- Add an ID
- Should be short and contain no spaces or special characters
