_LinkToAnchor

You can link to an anchor from:

• A page on the same Confluence site. The link may be on the same page as the anchor, another page in the same space, or a page in another space on the same Confluence site.
• Another web page or another Confluence site, using a specifically formatted URL.

To link to an anchor from within the same Confluence site:

1. Edit the page where you want to place the link.
2. Choose Link in the editor toolbar, or press Ctrl+K.

3. Choose Advanced and enter the anchor name into the Link box, noting the following:

   • The anchor name is case sensitive. You must use the same pattern of upper and lower case letters as you used when creating the Anchor macro.

   • Use the following syntax:

     Anchor location	Link syntax for anchor	Examples
     Same page	#anchorname	#bottom #important information
     Different page	pagename#anchorname	My page#bottom My page#important information
     Page in another space	spacekey:pagename#anchorname	DOCS:My page#bottom DOCS:My page#important information

4. Enter the Link Text (alias) that will be displayed on the page, if required. If you leave the 'Link Text' box empty, the link will display the destination page name or URL.
5. Choose Insert.

To link to an anchor from another web page or another Confluence site:

Use a full URL in the following format:

Notes about the full URL:

• The page name is repeated in the URL, after the # sign. The second occurrence of the page name is concatenated into a single word, with all spaces removed.
• There is a single dash (hyphen) between the concatenated page name and the anchor name.
• The anchor name in the full URL is concatenated into a single word, with all spaces removed.
• The anchor name is case sensitive. You must use the same pattern of upper and lower case letters as you used when creating the Anchor macro.
