Add 'in-page' links to wordpress blog posts
 

I'm using a blog hosted at wordpress and for really long posts, I'm trying to add a "cut-the-crap" link to something else in the page.

Now for plain html, I know you can do it with this:

<p>Blah blah blah, this is going to be a long post so you can <a href="#endcrap">skip the crap</a> and avoid a lot of...

...

...

*very long text here*

...

...



<span id="endcrap">Still reading? Good.</span> blah blah blah again.

However, when I try to save the post, wordpress strips the

id="endcrap"

attributes in my posts. I've 'googled' this already and even in the wordpress forums, all the tutorials are on how to add a link to another post or a link off-site.

Since the blog is hosted at wordpress, I can't change the template so no php hacks allowed. =(

I'm hope someone can help me with this. Thanks!

Not familiar with wordpress, but try

lots of crap to follow or <a href='#endcrap'>go to the end of the crap</a>
blah blah
blah blah
blah blah
blah blah
<span name='endcrap'>Still reading</span>

works in another hosted site, they disallow id and allow name

or you could use the wordpress --more-- tag and style it so that the page references are
read the crap >> skip the crap

It doesn't work either. But thanks anyway. :)

I can't use the --more-- tag because I've already used it for something else. Funny how something as 'powerful' as wordpress can't even deal with in-page link tags... :D

I guess it can't be done. They're stripping it intentionally... I'll just install a wordpress blog on my site.

UPDATE:
Ay... for some reason, they disabled the id attribute for span and cite tags. But using a div tag should work.

For those who have the same problem, use this:

<p>Blah blah blah, this is going to be a long post so you can <a href="#endcrap">skip the crap</a> and avoid a lot of...

...

...

*very long text here*

...

...



<div id="endcrap">Still reading? Good.</div> blah blah blah again.

I would use an anchor/bookmark:

<a name="endcrap"></a>Still reading? Good. blah blah blah again.

This way worked since the first HTML pages where created ;)
