HOW TO MAKE ANCHOR LINKS WORK IN MY DEV POST? ANYONE PLEASE HELP.

Convert your section headings to level 2 headings as those are correct for your structure:

## Let’s recall some basics

Then if you right click and inspect them in the preview panel you will see they have an ID so you copy that and a # to the start and use that as your link (the part in the parenthesis)

[Let’s recall some basics](#Lets-recall-some-basics)

Thankyou so much :)

No problem, you haven't quite got it right (nearly there).

The links should be all lower case and you need to remove things like question marks etc.

So #lets-recall-some-basics (lower case "l") and #concept-of-padding (lower case "C") and #why-structure-padding (lower case "W" and remove the question mark).

[PALLAVI SINGH]

Yaa got it right.

What are you trying to do, and what have you tried so far?

When you create a post here, there's a help section to the right with the basics (including links) and a link off to more information about markdown.

Essentially you do this:

[Hello I am the text of a link](https://dev.to/foobar)

If that's not what you're having trouble with, ask away.

please check my recent post , if you click on any topic in the topics section it will not take you to the particular section. Please look into it and help i have tried the above method it's not working.

When you made this post, it was your only post. You hadn't published the other one so nobody could see it to offer you any help.

[PALLAVI SINGH]

Now i have published the other one , my query is resolved. thankyou for the help :)

Let me test this

If clicking that link scrolls to title, it works then.

Let me [test this](#main-title)
