Anchor links

Anchors are used to mark the location of an element within a page. Anchors can link to both internal and external elements.

How to add/link to Anchors

Place your cursor in front of where you want the anchor inserted.
Select Anchor from the toolbar.
Enter an Anchor name.
- Only use lower-case letters, numbers and dashes (-). Dashes should be used to separate words when naming anchors (e.g. sample-1). Note: Anchor names cannot begin with numbers (e.g. 1st).
Select OK.
Highlight the text you want to link to the anchor, then select Link in the toolbar. Note: Avoid highlighting punctuation marks/white space at the beginning or end of the text.
Enter the anchor URL.
- When linking to an anchor on the same page, the URL must begin with a pound/hashtag sign (#) followed by the name of the anchor (e.g. #sample-1).
- When linking to an anchor on a different page on the same site:
  1. Copy the URL of the page being linked.
  2. Remove the "https://uwaterloo.ca ", from the beginning of the copied URL and paste the remainder.
  3. Append a pound/hashtag sign (#) to the pasted text.
  4. Append the anchor name.
    - e.g. http://uwaterloo.ca/web-resources/communications#sample-1
Select Save.
Select Add block (or Update if it's a pre-existing Block).
Select state from the Change to: drop-down menu.
Select Save layout.
