[ARCHIVED] How to Create a Link to a Section on the Same Page?

[victor_burton]

How do I create a link to a section within the same Page?

Example. My Syllabus Page is long. I want to refer students to subsections further down the same Syllabus Page. Can I create a link to a section within the same Page? How?

Thanks.

Hello there,  @victor_burton  Thank You for posting your question.  What you're asking for are HTML anchor tags.  Here are a couple resources for you that should help:

• Links to headers within pages
• Anchor Tags explained by a language teacher.

Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Hi Chris,

Thanks so much for the reply. It brought back fragments of old fading HTML memories and was very helpful.

I am completely new to this resource, having just switched because of COVID-19 restrictions to transitioning my course to online. In the past I've used Canvas as a resource for my in-class courses, but this is completely different.

Since I'm a newbie, I don't yet fully understand Canvas and its resources, let alone how to give "badges" or other goodies for a person so kind as to give me a reply. So I hope for now just a "Thank You" is sufficient.

No worries,  @victor_burton ‌...

Since you asked, here are a couple additional Guides for you about how to do stuff in the Community:

• How do I @mention people, places, content in the Canvas Community?
• How do I give a badge to another user in the Canvas Community?

Stay safe, and be well.  Happy Easter!
