I'm a little confused about the anchor tags, so please be kind.  O:)

Basically, I'm trying to use the HTML tags <a name="xxx"> and <a href="xxx">, essentially linking to an anchor tag on another page entirely. It says that this can only be done inline, so I attempted to use [*html*] and [/*html*]  but it only shows up as "<a name="xxx">" in the document when I attempt to create the anchor on the separate page. What am I doing wrong?

Anchors added with 'anchor' tag are prefixed with 'post_'. So for example this

[anchor=test]test[/anchor]

should be linked like this from another page
