You use the attribute href to point to another anchor (which may defined either by the name or id attribute.

For example:

<h3><a name="menu">Menu</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="#a001">Jump to a001</a></li>
<li><a href="#a002">Jump to a002</a></li>
<li><a href="#a003">Jump to a003</a></li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="a001">a001</a></h3>
<p>paragraph text ...</p>

<h3><a name="a002">a002</a></h3>
<p>paragraph text ...</p>

<h3><a name="a003">a003</a></h3>
<p>paragraph text ...</p>

<hr>

<p><a href="#menu">Jump to Menu</a></p>

To note, you can also use id instead of name like so...

<a href="#a001">Jump to a001</a>

...

<h3 id="a001">a001</h3>
