Template:Anchor/doc

Description
The templates and  insert one or more HTML anchors in a page. Those locations can then be linked to using  syntax.

Examples
1.
 * could be linked to with  ...  from within the same article,
 * or it could be linked to with  ...  from other articles and from redirects.

2. Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example,
 * Here, links via   articlename   would remain valid even if the section were renamed.
 * Here, links via   articlename   would remain valid even if the section were renamed.
 * Here, links via   articlename   would remain valid even if the section were renamed.

3. The template can be used to create up to ten anchors with a single call. For example,
 * will create three anchors that can then be linked to with  ,    and   .
 * Specifying more than 10 anchors will cause an error message to be displayed.
 * Specifying more than 10 anchors will cause an error message to be displayed.

Limitations

 * Anchor names that contain &#35; (hash), &#124; (pipe), &#61; (equal) will not work as expected. Most other characters, including white space and punctuation are not a problem.
 * Anchors cannot be placed in the middle of other wiki syntax. For example,  will not work.
 * The template can create a maximum of 10 anchors. Specifying more than 10 anchors will result in an error message.
 * Care should be taken to ensure that names are on a single line: For example,
 * will probably not work as expected.
 * will probably not work as expected.


 * Anchor names should be unique (with respect to all heading titles and additional anchors) on each page; multiple anchors won't work as expected since the #links will always go to the first anchor with that name.
 * Unlike section headings, anchors may not work on some (very old) browsers. This is because section headings are tagged with the more backward-compatible . Such tagging cannot be achieved with templates.
