The <a> tag as anchor is a HTML thing, not a markdown thing (though it works because the markdown gets translated into HTML anyway)
To clarify, I support the idea of [text](#anchor) for linking to anchors, I was just lamenting the lack of a markdown-y way of making an anchor to link to.
@death.au I know it’s HTML, and that is the beauty of many markdown apps: they support HTML elements too, as does Obs. Unfortunately Obs does not support the anchor one - yet (?).
+1 on this. Having all headers automatically get an anchor tag would be incredibly useful, if only to be able to link to a specific section within a document. It’s already supported by GitHub Flavoured MarkDown - https://gist.github.com/asabaylus/3071099
I want to reiterate that this is planned and a priority for us.
We will have [[#heading]], just like we have [[note#heading]],
and we will have more tools to manage references nicely.
I have noticed that block links within a note don’t work beyond a certain point if the document is very long. When clicking ^ to scroll through the note the pop-up display ends prematurely. This problem did occur with external notes but was fixed.
