  Use the content id

  <a href="?cid=123423">Link to content page</a>
  [where the cid value is that of the page you want to link to]
  
  or
  
  Right click on the link to the content page in one of the menus or the sitemap, save the link location, then paste the location in as the href value.
  
  Link to a files in your course content directory with something like:
  
  <a href="CONTENT_DIR/filename.html">Link to content file</a>
  
  Or
  
  You can copy the link location, then paste the url into the page. It will automatically create a link to the page

  Links if I use Text option

  If I use the TEXT option (as opposed to HTML), how do I link to another page?
  
  I searched the on-line course, and I found
  
  [cid] content id To create anchors in content pages use
  href="[cid]#anchor".
  The code is replaced by the content id.
  
  So, I tried putting [3] in the bodytext, but that does not do it.
  
  What should I put instead to link to say cid=3?
  
  Thanks

  Use HTML

  Just paste the URL to the page into your plain text page. There is a minor bug. There must be at least one character before the start of the URL. Spaces are stripped away. This is fixed in V1.3.
  
  The informnation you mentioned from HowTo refers to embedding anchors within single pages, so you can jump from the top of a page to the bottom, for example.
