Linking to Fragment Identifiers
Does anyone has any advice on how to create links to fragment identifiers? I was using Dreamweaver Creative Suite which worked fine for this. In fact, it was very good. Now, before someone says "named anchors are deprecated" let me say yes, I know this. But fragment identifiers are perfectly valid, non-deprecated HTML. In fact, you can still use anchors in exactly the same method with one caveat; that you don't use a "name" attribute" and instead use the ID attribute. Either way, in DW Creative Suite I could give a DIV, P or A element and ID attribute, then to create the link to it in Dreamweaver, you could drag the "Point to file" target tool in Properties to the element in the Design content view, and it would add the "#fragment-identifier" URL to the link box on the selected text. This was, and still is, perfectly valid HTML that IS NOT DEPRECATED. How do you create a link to a fragment identifier in Dreamweaver now that Adobe have broken the Point to File and linking.
Adobe have instructions on this page https://helpx.adobe.com/au/dreamweaver/using/linking.html#link_to_a_named_anchor_using_the_point_to_file_method but it doesn't work. I've tried to submit a bug report to Adobe but they just tell me that named anchors are deprecated. I tried to tell them I'm not using named anchors, I'm using ID'd anchors, which used to work in DW Creative Suite. But now I updated to Creative Cloud this important feature is broken. DW doesn't even behave how they say it does, and their support staff just tell me it's deprecated like complete idiots.
I've been reading and following W3C specifications since the late 90s, I know what I'm trying to do, and what used to work, IS NOT DEPRECATED and is perfectly valid HTML. How do you link to these without using code view and cut-and-paste? Alternatively, does anybody know any other software that something like this works for?
