How It Works

If you’d like to learn a bit more about how text fragment highlighting works, here is my blog post about how you can build URLs yourself:

Bookmarklet

To further simplify by eliminating the need to copy and paste, below is a bookmarklet that will work from any web page.  Just drag this bookmarklet link onto your bookmarks bar:

TFL Bookmarklet

Then, next time you want to create a link to a page, just highlight the text on that page, click the “TFL Bookmarklet” bookmark on your bookmarks bar, and this Text Fragment Linker page will open with the appropriate fields already filled in and the URL link already created for you to copy and use.
