How do I create a link to the table of contents a code?

How do I create a link to a chapter of a code?
You can link to HTML and PDF chapter documents in the Texas Constitution and Statutes website using the following format:
https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/docs/CD/TYPE/CD.#.ext
- CD: is a unique two letter statute code (eg., "TN" for Transportation Code)
- TYPE: is the htm, pdf, or Word file type only
- #: is the chapter number
- "ext" is the file extension type (i.e., htm, pdf, or doc)

How do I create a link to a section of a code?
You can link directly to statute section by adding an anchor tag (e.g., #chapter.section). For example, to link to
section 101 of Chapter 551 of the Transportation Code, include #551.101 so that the entire link is:
https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/docs/TN/htm/TN.551.htm#551.101.
Chapter numbers are not unique within Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes; therefore, the format is different. You can link
directly to an article by adding an anchor tag (e.g., CV.title.chapter.type#article). For example, to link to
Article 2700a of Chapter 11 of Title 49 of Vernon's, include #2700a so that the entire link is
https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CV/htm/CV.49.11.htm#2700a.
NOTE: In cases where there is no chapter for a title, use 0 for the chapter (e.g., CV.title.0.type#article).
