Question 1

Do you support anchor links?

Accepted Answer

We support the ability to scroll the user to certain parts of your content on the same page via anchor (or "jump") links.

To insert an anchor click the anchor icon in the markdown editor. Type a name for your anchor in the dialog and hit insert (Malcolm! will make your text lower case and replace any spaces with a dash)

To link to the anchor use the create link dialog and find your anchor from the drop down list.

Malcolm! will then add markdown to your content, you can see an example below

Alternatively you can create your anchors and links directly in markdown, the syntax is as follows

Question 2

How do I change the colour of my links?

Accepted Answer

You can change the colour of your links via your theme. Themes live in the Brand section of MyMalcolm.

In your main theme settings you'll see link colour options under Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Body.

In embed themes, the link colour is managed from the other colours section.

In Workflow themes, the link colour defaults to the colour selected in the main theme but can be overridden.
