To create text anchors within an unordered list in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create an Unordered List element: Start by adding an Unordered List element to your Webflow project. To do this, open the page in the Designer and drag the Unordered List element from the Add Panel onto the canvas or into a container.

  2. Add List Items: Within the Unordered List element, you can add List Items. Each List Item will represent a point on your list.

  3. Insert Anchor Element: To create a text anchor inside a List Item, you need to first select the List Item. Then, click the "+ Add" button that appears when you hover over the List Item. From the dropdown menu, choose "Link" to add an Anchor element.

  4. Label your Anchor: Double-click the newly created Anchor element to edit its settings. In the Settings panel, you can add a unique ID or name to identify your anchor. This ID or name will be used later as a reference for the link.

  5. Create Link: Next, select the text within the List Item that you want to link to the anchor and click the "Link" icon in the Text Settings panel. In the Link Settings, you can choose the "Page Section" option and then select the anchor you created in the dropdown menu.

  6. Style and Customize: You can now style your list items, anchor elements, and link text according to your design preferences using Webflow's styling options.

Note: Make sure that the anchor and the linked text are on the same page or else the link will not work properly.

By following these steps, you can create text anchors within an unordered list in Webflow. This allows users to navigate directly to specific sections of the page with a single click.
