Editing Template:Anchor/doc (section)

=== Examples ===

1. <code style="color:darkgreen;">{{{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}|Foo<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> 
: could be linked to with <tt><nowiki>[[#Foo|…]]</nowiki></tt> from within the same article, 
: or it could be linked to with {{nowrap|<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''<small>Article name</small>''#Foo<nowiki>|…]]</nowiki></tt>}} from other articles and from redirects.

2. Anchors can be more suitable for inter-article linking than section titles are. For example:
:<code>== <span style="color:darkgreen"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}<nowiki>|Foo}}</nowiki></span> Section title ==</code>
:Here, links via {{nowrap|1=<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''Article name''#Foo<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt>}} would remain valid even if the section were renamed. See [[#Limitations|Limitations]] for the editing problems this use introduces.
:The following is an example of what '''not''' to do: 
:<code>== Section title <span style="color:darkred"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}<nowiki>|Bar}}</nowiki></span> ==</code> 
:Here, the link {{nowrap|1=<tt><nowiki>[[</nowiki>''Article name''#Bar<nowiki>]]</nowiki></tt>}} would take the user to the section, but could undesirably hide the section title from view.

3. The template can be used to create up to ten anchors with a single call. For example, 
: {{nowrap|1=<code style="color:darkgreen;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}<nowiki>|Foo|Bar|baz}}</nowiki></code>}} 
:will create three anchors that can then be linked to with <tt><nowiki>[[#Foo]]</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>[[#Bar]]</nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki>[[#baz]]</nowiki></tt>. 
:Specifying more than 10 anchors will cause an error message to be displayed.{{#ifeq:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Visible anchor| <br /> 
<br />
4. If the text to be displayed must differ from the anchor (e.g. because it contains brackets for linking), the <code style="color:darkgreen;">text</code> parameter can be used: 
: {{nowrap|1=<code style="color:darkgreen;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{lc:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}<nowiki>|Foo|text=[[Foo]]}}</nowiki></code>}} 
: this will result in a link that constitutes an anchor of its own.|}}
