anchor

[oslingsby]

Hi, first post here

Is it possible to anchor within a lithium forum post?

Thanks

Not sure if I got the question right, but you can link to each and every post/reply within a thread/topic by copying the link from the area left of each message where it says "Message 7 of 10". the result will be a link like the following which links to the 6th message in another thread:

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Customer-Connection/Changing-a-users-display-name/m-p/48371#M3197 

If you are referring to something else by "Anchor" please specify.

Thanks Claudius, im needing to link within a single post, we have a very long post with numerous problems/answers on a similar subject on a KB article with a summary of what is included in that article at the top of it so wanted to link with anchors down to each section, that make sense?
Thanks again

Hi os,

Yes, you can use normal HTML anchor notation and add it in the HTML view of the Rich Editor, e.g. either the HTML4 oldschool variant with the "name" attribute:

<a name="faq_no_5">FAQ entry 5</a>

or the (more) future safe HTML5 one using the "id" attribute:

<h2 id="faq_no_5">FAQ entry 5</h2>

Both can then be referenced using:

<a href="#faq_no_5">Jump to entry 5</a>

Be aware that you run into issues when used together with the message link I posted in my first reply. As long as your anchors are in the first message of a topic that should not be a problem though.
Hope this helps.

Perfect thanks Claudius, really appreciated
