Anchor link usage instructions are misleading

      Problem

      After creating an Anchor on the page, the next step of help instructions says to "type this" to create the link to the anchor and shows the syntax example as the hashtag sign and the word "anchorname" like this: *#anchorname .

      This can create confusion when the user follows these exact steps.

      Suggested Solution

      Suggest improving this by changing text to something along the lines of:

      • "Type the hashtag sign "#" and the name you gave the anchor..."

      Why This Is Important

      • Reduce user frustration
      • Make it easier to use the anchor link macro.
