Internal anchor links

Summary:

How can I create links internally within a wiki to an anchor on the linked page?

Internal anchor links

alexmayer 12 Jan 2007 20:08

How can I link to an anchor on a separate but internal wiki page without using an http link? I'm only able to do it using http links:

[http://www.site.com#anchor]

but not using internal syntax such as:

[[[ page | name ]]]

Thanks in advance

Right.
I'm searching the script too: I need to link an anchor of the other page without insert the http link.
So 'up' for this question ;-)

Alex,

Interestingly, it seems to work fine if you don't want custom text. In other words, this works in the Sandbox:

[[[page on my site#myanchor]]]

I get a link to page-on-my-site#myanchor. Interestingly enough, if page-on-my-site doesn't exist yet, then the anchor doesn't appear in the link (and clicking on it takes me to the create-a-page feature), but as soon as the page exists and has an anchor with the correct name, the link becomes fully functional.

However, if I try

[[[page on my site#myanchor | custom text]]]

then it borks, as expected.

Hi,

this should work now:

[[[start#myanchor | custom text]]]
[[[start#myanchor]]]

custom text
start

I have put this into the syntax doc: http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc14
