ਫਰਮਾ:Anchor
The template {anchor} inserts one or more HTML fragment identifiers (anchor names) in a page. Those locations can then be linked to using [[#Location|...]] syntax. (Usually the first letter of the location is capitalised to reflect the common capitalisation used in section headers – see .)
Examples
{anchor|Foo}
could be linked to with[[#Foo|...]]from within the same article,
or it could be linked to with[[Article name#Foo|...]]from other articles and from redirects.- Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example:
=={anchor|Foo}Section title ==
Here, links via[[Article name#Foo]]would remain valid even if the section were renamed. (Note that the anchor is placed before the section name; otherwise browsers may hide the section title from view.) However, as noted under Limitations below, it may be preferable to use direct HTML rather than the template within section titles:
==<span id="Foo"></span>Section title == - The template can be used to create multiple anchors with a single call. For example,
{anchor|Foo|Bar|baz}
will create three anchors that can then be linked to with[[#Foo]],[[#Bar]]and[[#baz]].
Limitations
| Character | Code | Template | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| " | " "
|
— | (double) quotation mark |
| # | #
|
— | hash |
| | | |
|
{!} | pipe |
| = | =
|
{=} | equals |
- Anchor names that contain any character shown in the table on the right will not work as expected. However, any of these characters can be replaced with the "&#" codes shown for them here. Or, the pipe symbol and equals sign can be worked around with {!} and {=}, respectively. Markup code such as
<sup>and<sub>(superscript and subscript) cannot be used. Most other characters, including white space and punctuation, are not a problem. - Anchor names should be unique on a page, and should not duplicate any heading titles. Duplicate anchors will not work as expected since the
#locationlinks go to the first anchor with that name. Duplicate anchors result in invalid HTML; you can check for duplicate anchors by running the page through the W3C Markup Validation Service. - If the template is added to a section title then the code will appear in the edit summary window when that section is edited, as in "
/* {anchor|Issues}Limitations */ New issue". Also, when the section is saved, browsers may not return to the section. Consider using<span id="..."></span>directly, rather than using the anchor template, when in a section title. - Anchor links are case sensitive in some browsers, so treat all anchor links as case sensitive.
Use in tables
{anchor} template may be used in the caption and cells of a table, but not those portions of a table that are outside the caption and cells. It is used on the table's caption thus:|+ {anchor|FooX} A table caption
!{anchor|Foo1} A header cell
!style="background:white;" |{anchor|Foo2} A header cell with styling
|{anchor|Foo3} A data cell
|rowspan=2 |{anchor|Foo4} A data cell spanning two rows
{anchor} is not in that portion of the markup intended for the classes, styles etc. Thus, {anchor} cannot be placed anywhere on lines that begin with {| (start of table) or |- (new row), and the following forms of cell are not valid:!{anchor|Foo1} |A header cell
!style="background:white;" {anchor|Foo2} |A header cell with styling
|{anchor|Foo3} |A data cell
|rowspan=2 {anchor|Foo4} |A data cell spanning two rows
id= attribute. This is placed in that portion of the markup where the classes, styles etc. may be used, as follows:{| id=FooX class=wikitable
|- id=FooY
!id=Foo1 |A header cell
!style="background:white;" id=Foo2 |A header cell with styling
|id=Foo3 |A data cell
|rowspan=2 id=Foo4 |A data cell spanning two rows
id= attribute may appear before, between or after any other attributes that may be present, but only one id= attribute may be used in each of these areas.
