![]() | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
The template {{Visible anchor}}
inserts one or more HTML anchors in a page. Those locations can then be linked to using [[#link|...]]
syntax. Unlike {{Anchor}}, the first parameter will be visible text on the page.
{{visible anchor|anchor 1|anchor 2|text=display text|lang=language code}}
The template can be used with up to 10 anchor names. Anchor names are case sensitive, so {{Visible anchor|Anchor name 1}}
and {{Visible anchor|Anchor Name 1}}
are not equivalent. When making an anchor, in general capitalize the first letter of the anchor name, and follow the same capitalization guidelines as headers (see Manual of Style: Headers for more information). An optional |text=
parameter can be added in order to specify the text to display in the anchor. By default, the value of the first parameter is used. A second optional |lang=
parameter can be added to mark up the resulting visible text with the specified ISO 639 language code or IETF language tag (such as used by {{lang}}).
Link to an anchor in the same article using just the anchor name, e.g. [[#Anchor name]]
. (In the Visual Editor, type #Anchor name
into the link field.)
From a different article, link to an anchor by specifying the article name, followed by a #
, then the anchor name. e.g. [[Article name#Anchor name]]
.
The #
will be visible in the link text. To prevent this, give the link a display title in the typical manner: After a pipe character (|
) in the wikitext ([[#Anchor name|Anchor name]]
), or by editing the text of the link in the Visual Editor.
This text anchor will be highlighted after following this link which targets it.
To aid screen readers and other assistive technologies properly identify text in foreign languages or dialects, an ISO 639-1 language code or IETF language tag can be given with the |lang=
parameter to add the language code as an attribute to the HTML of the displayed text. Note that unlike the {{lang}} template, no italicization or text formatting is applied to the text.
