Hyperlink to a specific text in a webpage

Solution 1:

If you use Chrome (or Edge) as your browser, you could try Link to text Fragment. It's a:

Browser extension that allows for linking to arbitrary text on a page.

This extension allows for easily creating a special link to the currently selected text on a page via the context menu. When opening such a special link, a compatible browser will scroll the selected text into view and highlight it.

Here is the link to "C Thread Termination Example". I highlighted the whole paragraph, but I could have just highlighted the its title. Another link from the same page.

Here are the instructions on how to use it:

  • Select the text that you want to link to.
  • Right-click and choose "Copy Link to Selected Text" from the context menu.
  • If the link creation succeeded, the selected text will be briefly highlighted in yellow.
  • Paste your link wherever you want to share it.
  • 💡 Pro-tip: use a keyboard shortcut (by default: Command+Shift+L or Ctrl+Shift+L).

Note: I have tested with more browsers, at times after clicking the links the paragrah that should be highlighted is not shown. Pressing Enter on the address bar, then shows it.
