    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      At the moment, Help Tips contains the following information regarding linking:

      Linking:
[title#anchor] » Link a page
[dev:title#anchor] » In space with 'dev'
[http://host.com] » Remote link
[phrase@shortcut] » Shortcut
Note: [alias|any_of_above_links] » Custom link title

      Two of the above references include reference so an anchor, yet there is no reference to creating an anchor.

      We should include a line like this within the Linking section so that people can make references to Anchors work:

      {anchor:your_anchor_name} >> Creates an anchor to which you can link to

      After addressing that core issue, it might also be nice to include an example to link to an anchor on the same page e.g.

      [#your_anchor_name] >> Links to anchor on same page

          Form Name

            Agnes and Ben, this does not look like we have any chance of doing it in time for 3.0, so I remove the fix-for version now

            If it is simple, it would be nice to fix this. Especially since our dialogs are not good at explaining/creating links to anchors either.

            Removing the "Documentation" component because the tech writers currently have no access to the Notation Guide/Help Tips UI. The developers maintain this part of Confluence.
