 * i’d like to use the -more-tag without the anchor. just because i don’t know how
   to acomplish the following:
    i don’t want the entire posting on the front-page
   but just a short lead of the article that follows. then you click on (more) and
   then you can read the entire article. but now using the -more-tag, a HTML-anchor
   is generated. i want the page to begin on top and not to scroll down until the
   anchor. i’m rather new to WordPress. is there a way to modify how the -more-tag
   is displayed when the_content() is called? if so, where can i find this. thx 
   tini

 * Try using the PAGE tag instead of the MORE tag.

 * **joand**: You found the right bit of code. You have to change the line:
    `$output.
   = ' [\">$more_link_text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-without-anchor/"'.?output_format=md)";`
   to be: `$output .= ' [\">$more_link_text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-without-anchor/"'.?output_format=md)";`(
   Basically getting rid of `#more-$id`)
