How to Create Links to Highlight Text on Web Pages
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create custom links that open web pages and highlight specific text or even entire paragraphs. This is an incredibly useful technique for providing context when linking to external content from articles, blog posts, or other websites.
We'll start by covering the manual process of constructing these contextual links. The format is straightforward - you add a hashtag, colon, tilde, colon, the text to highlight, an equals sign, and then the actual text after the page URL. Spaces need to be replaced with %20. Use the first and last words separated by a comma to highlight a full paragraph.
Next, we'll introduce an awesome free online tool that automatically generates these links with one click—no more fiddling with all the symbols and codes! The tool is located on PositiveGeek.com under the Tools menu. Paste in the page URL, choose whether you want a sentence or paragraph highlighted, enter the text, and click Generate. Copy the generated link, and you're all set.

Seeing the tool in action makes it really click how easy and fast it is to create links that jump to and highlight text. Adding contextual links to your content can save you tons of time and effort. It also helps guide your audience to the most relevant information on external pages.
Make sure to stick around as I demonstrate the tool multiple times for both sentence and paragraph highlights. You'll get to see the links in action! By the end of this video, you'll clearly understand how to manually create these links and use the free generator tool.
