General

Links can not only be created to refer to a specific page, but they can also be expanded, to refer to a specific position within the text of that page. Like this item5 link, that will jump to item 5 of an example text and item2, that will jump to item 2.

The place in the item-text to jump to, is defined with an "anchor" attribute; this attribute has the format: "anchor:anchor-name". It has to be on it's own on an otherwise empty line, in front of the text to jump to.

To have a link refer to an anchor, use the link for the page it is on, followed by an exclamation mark and the name of the anchor, like: wikiword!anchor-name, [link]!anchor-name or [link |title]!anchor-name.

Anchors on the same page

Links to anchors do not default to the current page. So "!samePage" will not create a link to the anchor at the beginning of this section. References to anchors only work in connection with a link; even if that is a link tot the current page itself. So in order to create a link to the anchor of this section, the format should be: [Using anchors]!samePage.

Syntax

Anchors are case sensitive; "!Here" is a different anchor from "!here".
