How to link to a named anchor in Multimarkdown

Question

I have come across a number of mentions of MultiMarkdown s support for internal links   named anchors but I am unable to find a single example of how to actually do it    So  what is the syntax for denoting the named anchor  and what is the syntax for linking to it the same as linking to any other URLs  only using  foo instead of http

Here is my solution  derived from SaraubhM s answer     Jump To     Hotkeys  amp  Markers   hotkeys-markers     Radii   radii     Route Wizard 2 0   route-wizard-2-0   Which gives you   Jump To  Hotkeys  amp  Markers   Radii   Route Wizard 2 0  Note the changes from  and   to - and also the loss of the  amp  in the links

The best way to create internal links  related with sections  is create list but instead of link  put  section or  section-title if the header includes spaces   Markdown  Go to section    Hello   hello       Hello World   hello-world     Another section   new-section   lt -- it s called  Another section  in this list but refers to  New section       Hello     Hello World    New section   List preview  Go to section Hello            lt --  Hello   hello                  -- go to  Hello  section Hello World      lt --  Hello World   hello world      -- go to  Hello World  section Another section  lt --  Another section   new-section  -- go to  New section    HTML   lt p gt Go to section lt  p gt   lt ul gt       lt li gt  lt a href   hello  gt Hello lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt li gt  lt a href   hello-world  gt Hello World lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt li gt  lt a href   new-section  gt Another section lt  a gt   amp lt     it   s called    Another section    in this list but refers to    New section    lt  li gt   lt  ul gt   lt h2 id  hello  gt Hello lt  h2 gt   lt h3 id  hello-world  gt Hello World lt  h3 gt   lt h2 id  new-section  gt New section lt  h2 gt    It doesn t matter whether it s h1  h2  h3  etc  header  you always refer to it using just one    All references in section list should be converted to lowercase text as it is shown in the example above     The link to the section should be lowercase  It won t work otherwise  This technique works very well for all Markdown variants  also MultiMarkdown     Currently I m using the Pandoc to convert documents format  It s much better than MultiMarkdown  Test Pandoc here

I tested Github Flavored Markdown for a while and can summarize with four rules    punctuation marks will be dropped leading white spaces will be dropped upper case will be converted to lower spaces between letters will be converted to -   For example  if your section is named this      1 1 Hello World   Create a link to it this way    Link   11-hello-world

If you have headers in the markdown files  you can directly link them in the file   Markdown Header -     The Header  this will generate an implicit id  the-header  replace internal spaces with hyphens and make lowercase    To navigate to this id  you can create the link like this     Link to Header   the-header   This is equivalent to    lt a href   the-header  gt Link to Header lt  a gt   Please note the reference s name is a lower-case  header

In standard Markdown  place an anchor  lt a name  abcd  gt  lt  a gt  where you want to link to and refer to it on the same page by  link text   abcd     This uses name  and not id   for reasons explained in this answer    Remote references can use  link text  http       abcd  of course   This works like a dream  provided you have control over the source and target texts  The anchor can even appear in a heading  thus        lt a name  head1234  gt  lt  a gt A Heading in this SO entry    produces   A Heading in this SO entry   and we can even link to it so   and we can even  link   head1234  to it so     On SO  the link doesn t work because the anchor is stripped

Taken from the Multimarkdown Users Guide  thanks to  MultiMarkdown on Twitter for pointing it out    Some Text   will link to a header named    Some Text    e g         Some Text       An optional label of your choosing to help disambiguate cases where multiple headers have the same title       Overview  MultiMarkdownOverview          This allows you to use  MultiMarkdownOverview  to refer to this section specifically  and not another section named Overview  This works with atx- or settext-style headers       If you have already defined an anchor using the same id that is used by a header  then the defined anchor takes precedence       In addition to headers within the document  you can provide labels for images and tables which can then be used for cross-references as well
