An application can have multiple anchors. Each anchor can have multiple attributes. Anchors can be used to create links to other parts of the project.

Anchors is a demo application that shows how to use anchors. It provides a simple interface to try out different anchor attributes. The extensive documentation for anchors can be found from the demo application.

Please access the demo application from the following link: Anchors
