Create anchor redirects
Sometimes a page using anchors to link to content on the same page grows to an extent where it makes sense to extract that content to new pages.
To keep the potentially shared anchor links working, you can redirect previously used anchors to new pages.
Add an anchorRedirects
key to the page's front matter—the YAML block between ---
lines at the start of .md
file. This key can list multiple redirects and works both for fully qualified URLs and local paths:
anchorRedirects:
your-old-anchor: https://your-new-fully-qualified-page-url.com/with/optional/path/#and-optional-new-anchor
your-old-anchor-2: /local/path/#with-an-optional-new-anchor
Where your-old-anchor
is the fragment identifier without #
.
For example, in the /docs/devtools/recorder/index.md
file:
anchorRedirects:
selector: /docs/devtools/recorder/reference/#selector
This redirects:
- From
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/recorder/#selector
- To
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/recorder/reference/#selector
