Re: [WikiEducator] Re: Help with creating a book in wiki-educator
Sorry about not giving a link. See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Link To summarize where you want the bookmark (anchor) add the html code span id=anchorname...span and then link to it the same way as a section heading. I have used it for linking back to definitions, see http://wikieducator.org/Thermodynamics/Definitions John br/http://www.wikieducator.org/User:JohnWSbr/http://johnsearth.blogspot.com --- On Thu, 9/15/11, jkelly952 jkelly...@sbcglobal.net wrote: From: jkelly952 jkelly...@sbcglobal.net Subject: [WikiEducator] Re: Help with creating a book in wiki-educator To: WikiEducator wikieducator@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, September 15, 2011, 5:12 PM Thank you, but would appreciate it if you could provide a link for “anchor point”.

Actually, you can bookmark to any point in text by using an anchor point. Section headings are just a special case of anchors.
