[SalesForce] Using anchor links to redirect within email

I am having trouble in linking to a specific area of webpage through the use of anchor links.

Example: <a href="http://www.example.com/page.html#myanchortag">

Whenever I include the '#' it no longer redirects the page at all. The link is still 'clickable', but the page doesn't change.

Is this something that can be achieved that I am going about the wrong way, or is it not possible?

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Example of formatted links:

The strange thing is that I'm unable to reproduce the issue you are experiencing. I'm using Classic Content, but perhaps you are using Content Builder? Anyway, here's what I would try.

Paste the following code into your email and determine if either of the following two links work:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

%%[
    var @href, @hrefEncoded
    set @href = 'https://github.com/eliotharper/custom-activity-deskapi-node#pre-requisites'
    set @hrefEncoded = URLEncode(@href)
]%%


<p>Read the <a href="%%=RedirectTo(@href)=%%">pre-requisites</a>.</p>

<p>Read the <a href="%%=RedirectTo(@hrefEncoded)=%%">pre-requisites</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>
