Plugin A Name

This wiki plugin, available since Tiki1, creates an anchor in a wiki page that can be linked to. Use in conjunction with the PluginAlink, which creates the link to the anchor.

Starting with Tiki release 2.0, Tiki will automatically create anchor points for all headings in a wiki page. You can use the PluginAlink to link to any heading on a wiki page without having to use a corresponding ANAME plugin.

Parameters

Create an anchor that can be linked to
Introduced in Tiki 1.
Go to the source code
Preferences required: wikiplugin_aname

Parameters
(body of plugin) - The name of the anchor.
no parameters

Usage

To take use this plugin in a wiki page, use the syntax:

Copy to clipboard
{ANAME()}anchorname{ANAME}

In the generated XHTML for your webpage, Tiki will create the following anchor:

Copy to clipboard
<a id='anchorname'></a>


Notes:

  • If you include spaces in the anchor name, Tiki will convert the spaces to underscores ( _ ).
    For example, {ANAME()}my custom anchor{ANAME} will render as: <a id='my_custom_anchor'></a>.
  • Starting with Tiki release 2, Tiki generates the anchor using the id attribute. In prior releases, Tiki used the HTML name attribute (<a name='anchorname'></a>).

Example

Aname Plugin Usage

{ANAME()}

anchorname <--put the name of the anchor here. Use this same name for the aname= parameter in the Plugin Alink (see just below).

{ANAME}

ANAME example: {ANAME()}anchorname{ANAME}

Alink Plugin Usage

{ALINK(

aname=anchorname <-- put here the name of the anchor you created using the Plugin Aname!

)}

link text <-- put here the text to appear as the link.

{ALINK}

ALINK example: {ALINK(aname=anchorname)}link text{ALINK}

or rather, I only work so

ALINK example: -+{ALINK( aname="anchorname" pagename="wiki pagename")}link text{ALINK}+

Demonstration

The anchor is here. <-- I put the ANAME plugin at the beginning of this line. Now you can click HERE to jump to the anchor I put at the top of the page (you can't see where that one is unless you look into the page editor 😀)
