Anchorify.js

Anchorify.js is a dead simple JavaScript library for automatically creating anchored headings in your HTML documents. It guarantees uniqueness of the anchor names, and is able to reuse existing ids.

It can be used either as a jQuery plugin, or as a standalone library without any dependencies (except querySelectorAll()).

Usage

It could not be easier as Anchorify.js provides a jQuery plugin out of the box:

$('h2 h3').anchorify();

Anchorify.js generates clean anchor names:

<h2>Hello, World!</h2>
<!-- would become: -->

<h2 id="hello-world">Hello, World!<a href="#hello-world" class="anchor-link">¶</a></h2>

By default, it uses the ¶ sign for the links' text, and adds an anchor-link CSS class on each link.

However, you can configure your own text, CSS class and anchor position using the text, cssClass and position options:

$('h2').anchorify({ text: 'Hey', cssClass: 'anchor', position: 'prepend' });

<h2 id="hello-world"><a href="#hello-world" class="anchor">Hey</a>Hello, World!</h2>
