 ''(Changed in 0.11)'' Note that in Trac 0.10, using e.g. `[../newticket]`  may have worked for linking to the `/newticket` top-level URL, but since 0.11, such a link will stay in the wiki namespace and therefore link to a sibling page. 
 See [#Server-relativelinks] for the new syntax.

+=== Link anchors ===
+
+To create a link to a specific anchor in a page, use '#':
+{{{
+ [#Linkanchors Link anchors] or [[#Linkanchors|Link anchors]]
+}}}
+  [#Linkanchors Link anchors] or [[#Linkanchors|Link anchors]]

+Hint: when you move your mouse over the title of a section, a '¶' character will be displayed. This is a link to that specific section and you can use this to copy the `#...` part inside a relative link to an anchor.
+
+To create a link to the first or last occurrence of a term on a page, use a ''pseudo anchor'' starting with '#/' or '#?':
+{{{
+ [#/Milestone first occurrence of Milestone] or
+ [#?Milestone last occurrence of Milestone]
+}}}
+ [#/Milestone first occurrence of Milestone] or
+ [#?Milestone last occurrence of Milestone]
+This will also highlight all other matches on the linked page. By default only case sensitive matches are considered. To include case insensitive matches append '/i':
+{{{
+ [#/Milestone/i first occurrence of Milestone or milestone] or
+ [#?Milestone/i last occurrence of Milestone or milestone]
+}}}
+ [#/Milestone/i first occurrence of Milestone or milestone] or
+ [#?Milestone/i last occurrence of Milestone or milestone]

+''(since Trac 1.0)''

+Such anchors can be very useful for linking to specific lines in a file in the source browser:
+{{{
+ [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/wiki/api.py#L127 Line 127] or
+ [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/ticket/roadmap.py#L47 Line 47]
+}}}
+ [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/wiki/api.py#L127 Line 127] or
+ [trac:source:tags/trac-0.12/trac/ticket/roadmap.py#L47 Line 47]
+(Hint: The line numbers displayed in the source browser are links to anchors on the respective lines.)
+
+Since such links become outdated when the file changes, it can be useful to link using a '#/' pseudo anchor instead:
+{{{
+ [trac:source:trunk/trac/wiki/api.py#/IWikiSyntaxProvider IWikiSyntaxProvider] or
+ [trac:source:trunk/trac/env.py#/ISystemInfoProvider ISystemInfoProvider]
+}}}
+ [trac:source:trunk/trac/wiki/api.py#/IWikiSyntaxProvider IWikiSyntaxProvider] or
