Create hyperlinks to locations on a page BBcode
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2017 7:36 pm
Links allow users to move to specific places in a post. They can be used to create menus or link to a location on a different page. For example if you select and copy the code below and paste in a new browser window, you will return to the bottom of this page. Using the TARGET code, you can create links on another website that point to page locations on your website.
To use links, on a page, create two BBcodes. The first code is GOTO which is the link a user selects to move to the target. The target must exist on the page or the link does nothing. GOTO can only be used on the page where it resides. The second code is the TARGET which is placed where you want the user to land. The target is not shown on the page but is visible when you edit the post. You can put a target anywhere in a post. You can use a TARGET without GOTO but you cannot use GOTO without a TARGET.
For example clicking here moves to the bottom of this page because a valid target exists. While clicking this link does nothing because there is no target.
Names are case sensitive and the name used for SIMPLETEXT1 in GOTO must be identical to the name used for SIMPLETEXT in TARGET. If they are different the code does not work. SIMPLETEXT2 is displayed as the link the user selects to move to the target. Since SIMPLETEXT2 is informational, it can contain multiple words and spaces or a complete sentence. Multiple links can be used in the same post as long as each GOTO/TARGET set has a unique name.
First create the GOTO code.

Place the target on or above the sentence where you want the user to land. Remember if you use multiple links on a page, make sure each goto/target set has a unique name.
