You need to edit in 'Wiki Markup' mode to create anchor links.
Anchors allow you to link to specific places within a page. Anchor links can be especially useful when navigating between sections of a long page or when you want to link to a segment of a page and not to the page as a whole.
Anchors are made up of two parts:
In Confluence, you can place an anchor in a page using the anchor macro. This creates an anchor called "here", but you can substitute this with whatever name you like.
Anchor Macro
{anchor:here}
|
Once an anchor is in the page, you can link to it by putting #here (or whatever anchor name you choose) at the end of a link pointing to that page.
For example, there are two anchors in this page called "top" and "bottom", which you can link to like so:
[#top] [#bottom] |
These links come out like this: top bottom.
Linking to an anchor in the same page
[#anchorname] |
Linking to an anchor in another page
[CONF20:nameofpage#anchorname] |
Linking to an anchor in a page in another space
[spacekey:nameofpage#anchorname] |
Linking to headings
Confluence treats all headings as anchors. So you don't have to place an anchor but simply link to it like this:
[#textofheading] |
Page titles and links to other spaces can be combined with anchors and attachments, but you can't use attachments and anchors in the same link. |
Note that if you are adding an anchor to the site welcome message, it must be to another page. Internal-only links such as {anchor:bottom} will not render.
