Using HTML it’s possible to create links not only to other web pages, but to a certain point in the same page. Internal links can help clarify an article’s organization scheme, and can also be useful for readers who don’t want to read a long article from top to bottom all at once.

To add internal links to your article, first add "name" tags at the appropriate places. The syntax is <a name="something"> followed by </a> For example:

Code:

This is the beginning of my article.

<a name="background">Here’s the story behind this article.</a>

<a name="decklist">Here’s a decklist you might try.</a>

<a name="matchups">Here’s my matchup analysis for this deck.</a>

Thanks for reading!

Then, create a table of contents with links to each section you just named. The syntax is <a href="#something"> (notice the # sign before the name), followed by the text that will become linked, followed by </a> For example:

Code:

This is the beginning of my article.

<a href="#background">Link to the background story</a>
<a href="#decklist">Link to the decklist</a>
<a href="#matchups">Link to the matchup analysis</a>

<a name="background">Here’s the story behind this article.</a>

<a name="decklist">Here’s a decklist you might try.</a>

<a name="matchups">Here’s my matchup analysis for this deck.</a>

Thanks for reading!

That’s it -- simple and powerful. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
