Page Editor » Use Anchor with Internal Links

1 Initial Problem

The page editor in ILIAS wikis allows to set anchors in the text. They can be used to jump to a selected text phrase by clicking on a link. This works fine for external links but not for internal links. There is no chance today to select an anchor on a page with the current UI. Only pages can be selected, see screenshot below.

In addition, setting anchours with the ILIAS page editor is currently only allowed for the contect of the wiki component. In other components, this option is not offered yet.

Until ILIAS 7, authors helped themselves by using HTML anchors to set jump marks. This option is no longer possible since ILIAS 8 due to  Abandon HTML/Javascript in Page Editor Text Paragraphs.

2 Conceptual Summary

• The list of targets on the UI for internal links should be extended by available anchors on pages in all contextes of the IPE.
• The option to set an anchor on a page should be made available in all contextes of the IPE.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

• Modal for selecting internal link target
• Slate of IPE

3.2 User Interface Details

The list of selectable pages (see above) should be extended by anchors on pages. Syntax of the anchor links would be {page_title}#{anchor_title}
