How to link to a named anchor in Multimarkdown?

by

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://....)?

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:

<a href="#the-header">Link to Header</a>

Please note the reference’s name is a lower-case #header.
