With this plugin you can insert a bookmark to your page. The format is

<BOOKMARK:bookmark_name>

This will insert code

<a name='bookmark_name'></a>

To link to the bookmark from the same page (i.e. to use the bookmark as an anchor link within the page), use this syntax:

[[namespace:page_name#bookmark_name|anchor_text]]

Where anchor_text is the text-link your visitors will see.

I Installed this plugin, but this script didn't work. I tried to use the syntax but it didn't work. Is there any manual or samples about this plugin?

Hi. Remember to use capital letters for BOOKMARK. So the format is: <BOOKMARK:name> With the < and > marks. <bookmark:name> will not work… sorry — Otto Vainio 2006-09-04 12:08

While it works nicely with Firefox, it does not work for me with MSIE 6.0.2800.1106CO SP1, unless is hack the syntax.php to add an id attribute alongside to the name attribute of the anchor tag:

<a name='name' id='name'></a>

Yes I know that MSIE sucks, but DokuWiki uses the same trick for the anchor tags automatically generated for headings… — Gábor Ziegler 2007/06/15 10:01

Hi ! I just love this plugin. But I failed to address one of this bookmarks from within the wiki?

[[page#bookmark]]

Does not work … Markus A. Engelkamp
Hi,

Is it possible to use this plugin to point to a particular section of the page?

This plugin doesn't appear to work in the current version of DokuWiki.

It works well for me with the DokuWiki Release 2009-12-25c “Lemming” on Wiki Eolienne

I tested it with release 2013-05-10a “Weatherwax” and it worked, even without plugin.info.txt file.

I tested it with release 2014-05-05a “Ponder Stibbons” and it worked. 2014/07/31 11:00am

It would be great if other characters, apart from word characters (\w) are allowed in the anchor name. I.e. I have modified syntax.php, line 43 to “$this→Lexer→addSpecialPattern('<BOOKMARK:[\w\-]+>',$mode,'plugin_bookmark');” since I needed '-' in the anchor name.
