Add anchors to your section titles

It’s really good UX practise to add anchors for your section titles. It helps users to link to a part of article. You can see a good example of this in README files on Github. Here’s a sample.

Usualy we link <a> tag to an element using id attribute but this isn’t supported by ASP websites. Instead of using id, we can use name attribute:

1

<a name="about" href="#about">About</a>

It’s a link which points to itself. It’s a section title so you also should wrap it in an h2 or h3 tag.

Optionaly we can add some style for anchor links:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15

[href^="#"] {
    position: relative;
    color: inherit;
}

[href^="#"]:hover {
    color: #e14a42;
}

[href^="#"]:hover:before {
    content: '#';
    right: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    margin-right: .2em;
}
