URL linking in Confluence Pages

Question

Team,

I have a below scenario.

I created a page with table of contents and headers.

one of the header is named as "Checking URL of 2 ?"

Now when I click the header from table of contents it redirects to the url as below

https://lokesh9125.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MYDOCS/pages/196609/My+Docs+Page#Checking-URL-of-2-?

However I have problem with this since in outlook the last part of the URL '?' isn't considered. so when i am clicking on the url from outlook it doesn't redirect to the intended content rather it gets redirected to the confluence page.

Do i have a solution here , how do i encode '?' in confluence page.

I still wanted the header to be 'Checking URL of 2 ?' but the url should be encoding the '?' character.

Any help is much appreciated here.

Thanks in Advance

How can i use both TOC and Anchor. I mean in TOC i  want to display a different name from header and i want to link an anchor to that name. Any example would really help me.

Hi @lokesh gangula

I do not understand, why you can't use both?

You can still use tabel of content AND doing the anchor.

Another workaround would be to use the hyperlink function of outlook. So therefore you would set up a new hyperlink instead of just pasting the link.

Hi @Dominic Lagger ,

Thank you for the response. But my use case is such that i have to use table of contents ?

Is there any way doing it. Using anchors solves the problem but i cannot got for it.
