    • 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.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      The Confluence Notation Guide explains how to link to an anchor:

      Notation Comment
      [#anchor]
      [^attachment.ext]
      or
      [pagetitle]
      [pagetitle#anchor]
      [pagetitle^attachment.ext]
      or
      [spacekey:pagetitle]
      [spacekey:pagetitle#anchor]
      [spacekey:pagetitle^attachment.ext]       		Creates an internal hyperlink to the specified page in the desired space (or the current one if you don't specify any space). Appending the optional '#' sign followed by an anchor name will lead into a specific bookmarked point of the desired page. Also having the optional '^' followed by the name of an attachment will lead into a link to the attachment of the desired page.
      Example: pagetitle

      If such a page doesn't already exist, it will allow you to create the page in the current space. Create page links will have a after them.

      Example: anewpage

      ...but not how to create an anchor.

      The Jira Notation Guide seems to do it nicely:

      Notation Comment
      [#anchor]
      [^attachment.ext]       		Creates an internal hyperlink to the specified anchor or attachment. Appending the '#' sign followed by an anchor name will lead into a specific bookmarked point of the desired page. Having the '^' followed by the name of an attachment will lead into a link to the attachment of the current issue.
      ... ...
      {anchor:anchorname} Creates a bookmark anchor inside the page. You can then create links directly to that anchor. So the link My Page#here will link to wherever in "My Page" there is an macro, and the link there will link to wherever in the current page there is an macro.


      So could the Confluence Notation Guide be updated to reflect the above please?

            As of Confluence 4.0, wiki markup is no longer used so the notation guide is no longer required.
