Description: It's difficult to find how to put an anchor in a wikipage in the documentation. I just found [[#anchor]] in the link section of MarkupMasterIndex but this is an anchor and not a link ? With a few tries, something like this is working for a wikipage named MyPage: [[#Begin]]
[[MyPage#End | End]]
...
...
[[#End]]
[[MyPage#Begin | Begin]]


If you're trying to create a link to an anchor in the current page, then

   [[#Begin | link text]]

also works.

Feel free to modify the documentation however you think this could be improved. I can categorically state that what is there on this topic is the best I've been able to come up with so far. The problem is that I'm not sure where a person wanting this information is likely to look, or what they're looking for. --Pm


I found this in the http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/SpecialMarkups page :

[[#anchorname]]
Creates an anchor in a page.
[[#anchorname text]]
Creates a link to an anchor within the same page.

Maybe something like :

[[#anchorname]]
Creates an anchor in a page.
[[#anchorname | text]]
Creates a link to an anchor within the same page.
[[PageName#anchorname | text]]
Creates a link to an anchor within PageName.

could be placed either in a SpecialMarkups page or in the Directives? page ? --noe


A good start on this has been done in the PmWiki.Links page, it just needs to be cleaned up a little bit to close this PITS. --Pm
