This screen is part of a Web Feed Reference section for the Web Feed Generator. Please ask us if you cannot find the answer to your question.
A fragment anchor is a unique reference point in a Web page that can be used as the end point for a hyperlink. You may hear them called accelerators, ID links or jump points, they let you jump to the marked point in the document.
Fragment anchors are usually marked in HTML with an id attribute on an anchor element, and are often paired with identical name attributes for compatibility with very old browsers, as below.
<h2> <a id="proceedings-5" name="proceedings-5"> Proceedings of the fifth international conference</a> </h2>
Fragment anchors usually mark an important part of a Web page, so the Web Feed Generator uses fragments to generate individual items for a news feeds.
