Hyperlink accurately. Check your anchor text is properly linked with 200 url.

Question

Is it possible to include the enclosed text of the target anchor as the text of the hyperlink so that a change to the target contained text will change the hyperlink text?

I assume "enclosed text of the target anchor" refers to the id of the target element, and that "hyperlink text" is the text displayed in the <a> element. The best way of doing this would be either to generate the table of contents on the server side using a language such as PHP, or with Javascript that sets the text by reading the value in "href" attribute of the <a> element, then setting the "innerText" property accordingly. A simple CSS workaround could also be used with the ::after selector by setting it's "content" property to "attr(href)," though this would leave a "#" symbol in the displayed text.

Question

What are easy ways to link to a specific part of a web page by modifying the browser address, perhaps using information from a browser page inspector, without developer access?

On most computers, you can use the anchor tag (<a>) to create a link. Using a browser inspector, identify the section you want to link to, and add an anchor tag at the start and end of the text you want to link.
