Help How to Add Anchors

How do I add anchors? I've been seeing people do it, such as Jayn, and wanted to add my own to my project here.

 

Code:

[jumpto=aname]This takes you to a new location within a post[/jumpto]

[aname=aname]This is where you jump to.[/aname]

This takes you to a new location within a post

This is where you jump to.

Okay, so I'm little confused here. How does it know where to jump to? Like, do we replace "aname" with the actual thing we want to go to? For example, what would I put it so people can go directly to the YouTube Timeline section in the linked thread above?

 

Correct.

Let's say I had a post like:

MISTY IS LAME

REASONS MISTY IS LAME

reasons​

DO YOU THINK MISTY IS LAME

answers​

The bbcode would look like:

Code:

[jumpto=REASONS]REASONS MISTY IS LAME[/jumpto]

[aname=REASONS]reasons.[/aname]

[jumpto=OPINION]DO YOU THINK MISTY IS LAME[/jumpto]

[aname=OPINION]answers[/aname]

The 'aname' field can basically be whatever you want, but the place you're jumping to has to have the same one as the code that points to it. e.g. I can't have a code that is

[ jumpto=awesome]Plums is awesome[/jumpto]

[ aname=yeah]so awesome[/aname]

because they are different things.

 

Okay, I think I got it. So, quick test here:

Plums is a bad person!

Plums is a bad person because he didn't unpin and lock the QT poll.

Code:

[jumpto=Plums]Plums is a bad person![/jumpto]

[aname=Plums]Plums is a bad person because he didn't unpin and lock the QT poll.[/aname]

So, then, this would be correct to skip to the YouTube Timeline section, right?

Code:

[jumpto=YouTube Timeline]YouTube Timeline[/jumpto]

[aname=YouTube Timeline]I would move the entire content of the YouTube Timeline section here to be surrounded by aname.[/aname]

 

You wouldn't move the whole content as that would, presumably, make the links nonfunctional. It's better to wrap a header for it with the aname tag.

 

Uh, can you give me an example? :x
