URI fragment

<p>
In computer <a href="/facts/Hypertext/qD8ozxSb">hypertext</a>, a URI fragment is a <a href="/facts/Character_string_(computer_science)/4ChJu5WS">string</a> of <a href="/facts/Character_(computing)/X2zKLFFB">characters</a> that refers to a <a href="/facts/Resource_(computer_science)/bX958SEx">resource</a> that is subordinate to another, primary resource. The primary resource is identified by a <a href="/facts/Uniform_Resource_Identifier/UjyqxTpA">Uniform Resource Identifier</a> (URI), and the fragment identifier points to the subordinate resource.
</p><p>The fragment identifier introduced by a <a href="/facts/Hash_mark_(character)/bHYCsWs1">hash mark</a> # is the optional last part of a <a href="/facts/Uniform_Resource_Locator/pPD5g7Wq">URL</a> for a document. It is typically used to identify a portion of that document. The generic syntax is specified in <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986">RFC 3986</a>. The hash mark separator in URIs is not part of the fragment identifier.
