Adding Anchors to Your Articles

The 'HTML Anchor' concept is basically: A way link to a different area in the same page. But, of course, if you are here, you probably already know this...

So, yo want to create a page with some links at the top and a bunch of text with subheadings below. Each link will scroll the page down to a subheading.  Here goes...


Step 0: Yes...  Step 0.
You have to have your content ready first.  The reason it is '0' is because this is not really a part of the anchor creation process.  But without the content, there is noting to anchor.  So, first, write out your entire article, including the 'mini-table-of-contents' at the top (or where ever.  Now let's get down to business:

Step 1: Creating the anchors.
To create each anchor move the cursor to the beginning of the subheading and press the Insert/edit anchor icon (looks like... an anchor, usually third from left). Enter the name of the anchor in the Anchor name field. Then click ok.  Repeat for all desired anchors on the page (don't stress, you can always add more later).

Step 2: Creating the links to the anchors.
Now select each of the links in your mini-table-of-contents and click the Insert/edit link icon (looks like... a link, left-most icon). Instead of inserting a link though, you will select the appropriate anchor from the drop-down right below (you should see it populated with the anchors you just created in step 1).  Repeat for each subheading.

Bam!

Note: it is important to follow the correct order. Of course, you can always add more anchors later.
