New page

{{Template Doc|<nowiki>name|text</nowiki>}}
creates a named "anchor" around a body of text.

An anchor is a spot on the page which can be jumped to.

; name : the name of the anchor.

; text : (optional) the text which is to be displayed. If not given, nothing is displayed.

{{demo table|
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{anchor|the spot|here's the spot}}</nowiki> | {{anchor|the spot|here's the spot}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{anchor|other spot|here's the other spot}}</nowiki> | {{anchor|other spot|here's the other spot}} }}
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{anchor|third spot}}</nowiki> | {{anchor|third spot}} }}
}}

Once you have the anchor in place, you can create a link to it using the standard formats.
Try clicking on the links in these examples to see the effect.

{{demo table|
{{demo row|[[#the spot]]}}
{{demo row|[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#other spot]]}}

{{demo row|[[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#third spot|find third spot]]}}
}}

If more than one anchor on the same page has the same name, only the first one can be the destination of a link.

{{bad example|
{{demo|<nowiki>{{anchor|the spot|a second anchor also called "the spot" can't be jumped to}}</nowiki> | {{anchor|the spot|a second anchor also called "the spot" can't be jumped to}} }}
}}
