- For best results, use the following recommended characters: = - ` : . ' " ~ ^ _ * + #
.. _anchorbyref:
.. _Anchor link by text:
.. _External link name: http://example.com
.. [1] A footnote
.. [cit1] A global citation
`External link <http://example.com>`_
`External link name`_ or `Example <External link name_>`_
`Anchor link by text`_ or `Anchor <Anchor link by text_>`_
`Anchor link by ref <anchorbyref_>`_
:ref:`anchorbyref`
