HTML Question- How to add an anchor link?

I am trying to make an email newsletter with a table of contents and a

body.

My goal is to make it so if you click on an item in

the table of contents then it would directly take the reader to that

part of the email. In other words, a link that doesn't lead to another

website but just another part of the email.

You need to generate this newsletter in HTML to do this.   Personally though I really do not see this as something you would really want to do in the body of the e-mail message since this would not be handled all that well by many e-mail clients.  I would do this offline and then add it as an attachment.

I am trying to make an email newsletter with a table of contents and a body.

My goal is to make it so if you click on an item in the table of contents then it would directly take the reader to that part of the email. In other words, a link that doesn't lead to another website but just another part of the email.

My search on the internet yielded this:

What you need to do, is at the top of each different section, add an anchor tag.  For example:

<a name="section_name"></a>

and then when you make your table of contents, to link to it would be like this

<a href="http://community.pmail.com/forums/AddPost.aspx?ForumID=10#section_name>Section Name</a>

 

I've tried to use the "Insert a Hyperlink" button, but it doesn't seem to work, so I tried to just add these tags "as-is."

(Of course, I really don't know what I'm doing!) [8-)]

So, does anyone know what the html code would be for making those types of links in Pegasus? 

Thanks!!!
