 * hi first of all thanks for the great plugin
    so i was looking for anchor plugin
   and when i check this plugin so i got many more things including anchor option.
   so i was very happy to see in the same plugin. but when i used anchor option 
   as like using WP Simple Anchor Link plugin so this is different. i want to say
   that your anchor option should work like wp simple anchor link plugin because
   that also work in ms word document. means to say when we create anchor link so
   both work same, but when we crate anchor text so it different your plugin crate
   text like:  wp simple anchor link like: [wpanchor id=”your_id”] if is possible
   please fix it so i can do what i want to do
 * thanks

 * The ‘anchor” plugin is part of TinyMCE: [https://www.tinymce.com/docs/plugins/anchor/](https://www.tinymce.com/docs/plugins/anchor/).
   TinyMCE Advanced (this plugin) only adds it to the editor in WordPress.
 * The plugin you mention adds placeholders (shortcodes) instead of “real” anchors
   which makes the site slower on the front-end. But if you prefer it, use it 🙂

 * Wondering why I have to manually insert the anchor link code in the source of
   my blog post. Anchor creation works fine. Then to link text to the anchor, no
   named anchors come up from the Insert Link function. Please advise…
