Thanks, but I have neither the time nor inclination to wade into a swamp of source code in the NationBuilder text editor – I did plenty of that decades ago, but in 2019 I expect a text editor to allow me to use common functionality without writing source code. Microsoft Word, and even Google Docs, allow linking to a header within the document. Are you sure there’s no way to do this in the NationBuilder editor, without writing source code? Thank you.

Hi Nancy,

It sounds like you want to create anchor tags for your table of contents. A link with an anchor tag will send the reader to that part of the page.

To do so in an email, use the source code button in your WYSIWYG toolbar. For each piece of content you want to link to, then post <a name=" contentname "></a><br> above the content. Change the “contentname” to something unique for each piece of content, and remove the spaces.

You should see small anchors icons created in your content editor, but they should not show in your preview.

Once those are created, you can use the “Link” function described as above and you’ll see your anchor tags as new options for linking.

Hope that helps!

For mobile readers, keep in mind that Apple’s email app in iOS 8 and above does not support anchor tags.

I want to include a table of contents in my email blast, where clicking each item allows user to automatically scroll down to a specific article in the email blast. The only option to include “links” are for URL’s – this is NOT what I want. The ability to link within an email message is not a new concept – please advise.

When creating a link to a page within the Nation using the page slug, do you just type the slug or /slug. Both seem to work.
