Ah, like the following <a name="Building_lists" id="Building_lists"></a>? Missing the href attribute, these are not links in the original sense, they act as link targets. In the graphical interface, a click on a related link <a href="#Building_lists">link text</a> will center the document text around the link target "Building_lists". Note the # character. Thus, link targets allow to jump to particular positions on a single page. Of course, links usually jump between different pages.
Just so you know, the standard way of doing this now is to attach an id="target" attribute to any element you like. That makes it easier to, say, give a target to a section header: Old: <h2><a name="foo">Foo</a></h2> New: <h2 id="foo">Foo</h2> (Of course, MediaWiki does this automatically for every header anyway.) I can't remember browser compatability off the top of my head, though. -- -David House, dmhouse@gmail.com
