anchor
The <anchor> element provides an integration point that another map can reference in order to insert its navigation into the current navigation tree. For those familiar
with Eclipse help systems, this serves the same purpose as the <anchor> element in
that system. It may not be supported for all output formats.

Inheritance
- map/anchor
Example
In this example, an anchor is defined with an ID of "a1".
<map>
<title>MyComponent tasks</title>
<topicref navtitle="Start here" href="start.dita" toc="yes">
<navref mapref="othermap2.ditamap"/>
<navref mapref="othermap3.ditamap"/>
<anchor id="a1"/>
</topicref>
</map>
The id on <anchor> can be referenced by the anchorref attribute on another map's <map> element. For example, the map to be integrated at that spot would be defined as follows.
<map anchorref="a1"> <title>This map is pulled into the MyComponent task map</title> ... </map>
