Anchor Menu

[NOTE: This section and others related to anchors needs to be updated to reflect the addition of the new Anchor Utility, which provides a common interface for creating both HyperText Links and Named Anchors, with keyboard shortcuts Command-Shift-A and Command-Shift-N respectively. Note that Command-Option-A and Command-Option-N are the shortcuts for the QuickLink and Quick Named Anchor commands respectively. Holding down the Option key when selecting the Anchor popUp menu also displays the Quick versions of these two commands.]

The Anchor menu contains: 

URL PopUp Menu
The URL popup menu provides a simple way of creating a URL from the documents in the editor, which can be cut and pasted into your documents, or used as the default by the Create HyperText Link command.

Any URLs entered into the URL list on the Preferences card will be appended to the URL popUp menu.

HyperText Link
Adds an HTML "Anchor" given a text selection as "hot text".

Named Anchor
A named anchor provides a useful way of jumping to a specific place within a large document, similar to the way this Help text window operates.

Table of Contents
Inserts a table of contents of either all documents or those with a selected label.

HyperText Link To Previous, Next Document, Selected Document…
Inserts a hypertext link to the previous or next document (as located sequentially in the HTML.edit editor), or a selected document.  The link will use the current text selection as hot text or will insert the anchor into the text at the insertion point. If the checkbox "Confirm Automated HyperText Links" (on the Preferences card under "Editor") is checked, a dialog box will be displayed confirming the link before it is inserted.

Index and Hilight Anchors
Displays a list of All Anchors, the HyperText Links, or just the Named Anchors within the current document. To close the Index list, click on its close box. See also Index HTML. The Hilight HTML command hilights the chosen elements.
