How+to+make+anchors+in+a+wikipage.

Here are some instructions from a school teacher who struggled to figure out how to include anchors on a page. I hope these instructions are helpful and appropriate. If not, since this is a wiki, I guess someone can edit or delete them.

An anchor is a way to link one part of a page to another. They are often used at the top of a page so that people can jump directly to a section that is farther down without having to scroll to find it.

As I understand it, anchors have 2 parts.

1. Go to the part of the page where you want the link to jump to (usually located farther down the page). 2. Click on the Text Editor button. 3. Type in You literally have to type the brackets and the # sign. Replace nameoftheanchor with the actual text you want to be the name of the anchor. In the examples above, they are using.
 * Part 1:** You have to insert this using the **Text Editor**, so you are working with code. This is the anchor point itself.

1. At the top of the page (or wherever you want your anchor link list to appear), highlight the word that you want to use as your link. 2. Click on the "insert link" tool that looks like a globe. For Page Name, select the name of the page you are currently working on (not a new page) if you are linking something from say the top of the page to somewhere farther down on the same page, unless you want the anchor to actually link to a new or separate page. 3. Click the "Link to anchor?" link, which will then turn into a box that you can type the anchor name in to. So in the example above, you would type the word apples in to the Anchor# box, since this is what you put inside the when you made the code in Part 1.
 * Part 2**: You can use the **Visual Editor** for this. This is the link text.

You can look at my Classroom Resources page for an example of this in action. Click on Edit This Page, and then Text Editor to see the code itself. The links you would make in Part 2 of the directions are across the top of the page (Social Studies, Reading...), and when you click on them they take you farther down to a different section of the same page, which is the anchor part you would make in Part 1 of the directions.

Hope this is of help!
