Inserting an Anchor

You can insert an anchor in a template. The following scenario adds an anchor to a section title and the associated hyperlink to a paragraph. The scenario is identical if you add an anchor to another structure element.

Important: The anchor generation is only available for the DOCX, HTML, PDF, and RTF output formats.

Before you begin:
  • Create a section.
  • Create a paragraph outside the section.
