    You have to shield the address that you want to link to with the quotes:

    1c1
    < <a href='https://yourcompanyname.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000014392-Other target="_blank'>OtherCategory</a>
    ---
    > <a href='https://yourcompanyname.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000014392-Other' target="_blank">OtherCategory</a>

    Otherwise, it'll try to got to yourcompanyname.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000014392-Other/%20target= which obviously doesn't exist.

    Thanks Nikolaj!  Just updated the code.  Didn't notice it earlier.

    Hello Everyone! 

    How would one add an anchored header but have it display in multiple languages?

    English is fine but the link is showing up only in English for all languages and want to fix this. Appreciate your help and time.

    Hey Michael,

    You'd typically do this with Dynamic Content. Create the multilingual Dynamic Content in Zendesk and the setup the header. Instead of an English string, use the Dynamic content placeholder. Note that in Guide, you need to adjust the placeholders a bit. If your placeholder was {{dc.mikes-text}} in Guide you'd put {{dc 'mikes-text'}} in the Guide code. 

    Here's a link with some steps on how to use Dynamic Content to get you started.

    Hi, Thank you for the article - it was super helpful.

    I have an additional question:

    I have 2 environments:

    1. us-platform.example.com

    2. platform.example.com

    I want to refer our customers to a link in our platform, however I want the customers that connected using 

    Platform.example.com to get to platform,example.com/help

    AND us-platform.example.com to get to us-platform,example.com/help

    Is there any way to do so?
