Take a user directly to a specific location in an article
Trisha Dominguez
When an outside user is on our https://help.mi4p.com/odyssey2userguide page, at the top is the 'Search' with a magnifying glass. If a term or word is typed in there, I know that a list of pages (articles) is then presented to the user
However, is there a way that if a user clicks on an article as a result of the search, that HelpJuice can drill down and take a user to that specific term/section of said article or at least provide a list of that searched term?
Example: At the top of https://help.mi4p.com/odyssey2userguide, I search for 'Attributes'.
The first page at the top of the returned search is 'Definitions of Terms'.
Within this page about 1/2 way down is a section called 'Attribute'.
Can HelpJuice take a user directly to the 'Attribute' section of the https://help.mi4p.com/137112-what-is-odyssey-v2-0/definitions-of-terms?from_search=77468265 article so that a user doesn't have to scroll to find where on that potentially long page the searched word or words of 'Attribute' is found?
This would help our users not have to scroll or figure out Ctrl + F to use search from their browser (as many don't know that Crtl +F is something that can be done within a browser).

We use anchors for this. Unless this is a different issue I'm not understanding?

L Pasiuk: Can you tell us how to use an anchor?
Caleb Scharf
We use the table of contents to do this, but there are many articles that was don't want to have a table of content for. Each Section heading and accordion should have a link icon that shows up to the left of it when you hover over it. Upon clicking it, the link in the address bar changes to that section and is copied to your clipboard.
Here is an example of How Microsoft does this:

Could you not use HTML bookmarks?

This feature would be most helpful for us also.

As a stopgap, you might be able to use standard Table of Contents feature, or create your own table of contents with links using anchor tags. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-redirect-to-a-particular-section-of-a-page-using-html-or-jquery/#
