# <anchor>

`<anchor>` | (anchor point) attaches an identifier to a point within a text, whether or not it corresponds with a textual element.

Example

    <s>The anchor is he<anchor id="A234"/>re somewhere.</s>
    <s>Help me find it.<ptr target="A234"/></s>

Note | On this element, the global `id` attribute must be supplied to specify an identifier for the point at which this element occurs within a document. The value used may be chosen freely provided that it is unique within the document and is a syntactically valid name. There is no requirement for values containing numbers to be in sequence.
