Insert the Anchor Macro at a chosen link destination.

Enter a name for the anchor. (e.g. step-two)

Create a Link to the Anchor.

  • Insert a link
  • Click Advanced in the Insert Link window
  • Add # followed by the anchor name from Step 1 into the link field

Depending on whether you are linking to an anchor on: the same page; a different page in the same space; or a page in a different space, you'll want to choose the related syntax:

Note

Anchor names:

  • are case sensitive
  • must match the link you use when creating the Anchor macro


Special Characters

If the name of the page you are linking to contains special characters where the URL displays a page ID rather than a name, the link to an anchor will be a combination of the page ID and the page name, as follows:

For the page "Test - page 1!" containing a tab named "anchor" the URL will look like this: 

 


UTF-16 Characters

If the page name contains UTF-16 characters (eg. Simplified Mandarin, Katakana) then it is necessary to add "id-" into the URL before the second instance of the page name, as follows:

For the page "ページ" containing a tab named "High Level Comparison", the URL will look like this:

Note: You can retrieve the page ID from the address bar when the characters are not ASCII.
