I presume everybody here at WA knows how to create a link to another page on your own website or to an external website.

But sometimes it can be useful or even necessary to link to a specific word, chapter, image on the same page.

These kind of link is called “anchor link”.

To do this you need to use a little html coding. The basic code is the <a> tag.

  • And then create the anchor itself.

thanks for sharing this information

I did not know but when I first added a link, I kind of stumbled across how to do it lol.. thanks for sharing

yep, great job.
Instead of writing the code I tend to open the destination link and then copy the url then paste that in to the anchor text box- that way I don't mess up!
