This article is a small memo to use anchor links in SPIP articles.
Anchor links are invisible markers that can be placed in a text. They allow
direct access to a specific area in a page, which can be useful to refer
users to a paragraph in a very long page.
## Step 1: create the anchor link[|عودة الى
الفهرس](#s-Step-1-create-the-anchor-link)
Here is the SPIP shortcut to place an anchor link
[anchor_link_name<-]
That is:
* The anchor link must be **unique**. You can’t have multiple anchor
links named *"menu"* on the same page.
* The anchor link **must not contain** space and if possible avoid
accents and special characters.
For example on this paragraph "step 1", here is my code:
[step-1<-]
{{{Step 1: create the anchor link}}}
## Step 2: create a link towards this anchor link[|عودة الى
الفهرس](#s-Step-2-create-a-link-towards-this-anchor-link)
Here is the SPIP shortcut to link to an anchor link in a page.
[->#anchor_link_name]
The **#** character is a reserved character that means anchor link.
It is automatically added to the address when the anchor link is
clicked.<figure class='spip\_document\_2986 spip\_documents
spip\_document\_image spip\_documents_center' style='width:347px;'>
</figure>
Here are some examples
**Crate the link towards this anchor link**
[Hypertext link title ->#anchor_link_name]
[Reviewing step 1->#step-1]
Which gives: Reviewing step 1
**Create link to anchor link to another SPIP item**
[Hyperlink title->spip_article_number#anchor_link_name]
[View Mathematical Filters->2465
#M
athematical-filters]
Which gives: View Mathematical Filters
