I am running CMSMS version 1.8.2. The site is a family with genealogical info. I have a page from the old site that lists all the names in alphabetical order with anchors to each letter.
I am converting from phpWebsite to CMSMS and am having problems on one page. This is a listing of names that on the original page had anchors for each page in the form of
How do I implement this in CMSMS? Do I need to create a page for each letter or is there a way to use a single page with anchors?
TIA for any info that you can provide.

If you are creating this page manually using the TinyMCE editor, you can insert anchors where ever you like while editing a page. Put your cursor where you want and click on the anchor icon. It will ask you for the anchor name.
If you are fetching the items from a database and using automation to display them (Smarty, UDT, plugin, module), you can use that same automation to insert the anchors.

Is there some sort of a limit on the number of lines that can be on a page? This page is a listing of the member families of Clan Donald and was originally coded is straight HTML. I moved it to phpWebsite a few years ago and to CMSMS just before the end of the year. I have the HTML and tried turning off WYSIWYG and pasting it in. I checked to make sure that it is all there and when I submit the page and then look at it, the list stops at the letter M. If I add plain HTML tags to the top and bottom of of the file and save it as a .html file it opens in a browser without any problems and everything is there and works properly. The file is 812 lines.
