Creating Anchor Links
Video tutorial: Anchor Links
An anchor link is a particular place within a web page that can be linked to.
Pages that have several sections with links to those sections at the top use anchor links. "Back to top" links also link to anchors.
Creating an Anchor Link
Insert the anchor
Position your cursor in the place where you want the link to go, then click the Anchor button in the toolbar.
In the dialog that opens, give the anchor a name. It is best to use all lower-case alphanumeric characters, without spaces.
Click the Insert button.
The anchor icon will appear next to the text.
Link to the Anchor
Select the text that you want to make into a link and click the Linkit button.
In the “Target Path” field, type a pound sign and the name of the anchor you just created.
Click "Insert Link". The text will now link to the anchor.
Link to an anchor from another page
The steps above assume the anchor and the link to it are on the same page. However, you can create a link to an anchor from any page just by including the pound sign and anchor name in the full URL.
For example, the full URL of the anchor is https://agnr.umd.edu/pagename#future
*Don’t forget that when copying URLs from the AGNR sites, to use http:// in the link and not https://
