BBCode Page Anchors

Edward_Elric_1308 · Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 11:59 am Post subject: BBCode Page Anchors

What is the code for page anchors in BBCode? Not HTML.

I want to make a page anchor in my blog so that when I click it, it goes to a place in my blog.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on explaining that.

Do you mean creating an anchor point or linking to one?

You [i]should[/i] be able to simply use the URL tag for it, but that varies by the bbCode parser in question. When in doubt you can simply link the full URL of the current page plus the desired anchor.

I mean, something like this:

Chapter one
Chapter two

And, for instance, if you click on chapter one, it'll "jump" down the page to where it says chapter one. I know how to do it in HTML, but what's the BBCode format for doing this in a blog?

I searched everywhere on Google and had no help at all.

You can quote posts to see how the person did what they did to make it look that way. This board supports html, which is what he used.

Why would you want multiple chapters to appear in a single blog post anyway? It would make your post too long, and nobody likes tiny scroll bars.

I tried to quote this to get the BBCode for the page anchors:

But I got this:

Using the HTML code for page anchors doesn't work in my blog.

Odd. Works for me.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to do that with BBC, (though I can't say I'm very knowledgeable in this area, and could be wrong).

I looked somewhere and it showed the BBCode, but when I applied it in my FAC blog, it didn't work.

I tried this, and it still didn't work:

[code:1]<a href="#codeword">whatever words you want to use</A>
<A name="codeword"></A>[/code:1]

So when I fill in the first part, it turns it into a link in my blog, but when I click it, instead of jumping down to the part of the page I want it to, it takes me to the main page of FAC.

bbCode doesn't support creating in-page anchors.
