Anchors

Placing an anchor is simple, and useful for a one-click way to jump to the specified section of the page. The simple procedure includes two steps, the first to name the anchor, and the second to call it when selecting the link.
 
Creating anchors

1. Place the cursor at the location you would like to jump to
2. Type <a name="anchor name">
Where "anchor name" is the name of the tag of the anchor. This can be anything, but it is recommended that the tag name is something significant to the area.
3. Add the words to be highlighted
4. Type the ending tag, </a>
 
This is very useful for long documents over one or two pages. Remember that the words that you hilight should inform the user of the destination of the link. Perhaps using the keyword of the anchor name.
 
Linking to a specific anchor

1. Place the cursor at the location you would like to place the anchor
2. Type <a href="page.html#anchor name">
Where "page.html" is the HTML page where the anchor is located, and "anchor name" is the name of the anchor. There should be no spaces between the href and the final quote. The pound (#) is required, otherwise the HTML code will do nothing.
3. Type the ending tag, </a>
