 * Hi
    I have tying to learn how tu use WP for some months. I have found a buttom
   fro creating a link in a page on the visual editor, but I cannot find a button
   for creating the target when I am linking in the same page. Do I have to add 
   a Plugin or do I have to switch over to “Text” to get the small “anker”?

 * You can enable an anchor button with the plugin TinyMCE Advanced.

 * Thank You, sterndata.
    OK, a **Plugin**. Already 21 Plugins, and now a new plugin
   for one small button! I wonder, with a such perfect tool, **WordPress**, functional
   over 6 year and they forget such a small but imported button!! Why have they 
   put a special button for the link, but nothing for the anker/target/tag!! Is 
   it too small thing for the developers. (can anyone hear my frustration?) I must
   admit, I have spent some hours to find out how to do/define the target.

 * If you want to add it yourself, you can do it with a few lines of code. see [https://codex.wordpress.org/TinyMCE_Custom_Buttons](https://codex.wordpress.org/TinyMCE_Custom_Buttons)
 * For my users, I’ve created a simple shortcode so they enter [anchor name=”xxx”]
   because that makes it painfully obvious when editing where the anchors are.
