Creating an anchor in Markdown
Is it a native Markdown "tag" for creating an anchor? Unfortunately,
I haven't any information about it at
Markdown syntax page.
Of course, I know that I can use HTML tag to do it,
for example <a name="foo" />, but I don't want to mix Markdown
and HTML code if it's not necessary.
BTW, ikiwiki doesn't displays the #foo anchor in the example
("To link to an anchor inside a page...") at [[WikiLink]] page...

No such syntax exists in markdown. ikiwiki could certainly have a
[[preprocessor_directive|preprocessordirective]] for it, though.

I'd like to implement such a thing. Joey, what is this supposed to look like?
\[[anchor WHATEVER]] ? --[[tschwinge]]
Why would you want to use a preprocessor directive for something that can
be more shortly and clearly done with plain HTML? Markdown is designed
to be intermixed with HTML. --[[Joey]]
The lack of the #foo anchor in the anchor example on [[wikilink]]
definitely looks like a bug. --[[JoshTriplett]]
Fixed that --[[Joey]]
Considering a hierarchy like foo/bar/bar , I had the need to link from the
foo/bar/bar page to the foo/bar one. It would have been convenient to
simply write [[wikilink]]s like \[[../bar]] (or even just \[[..]] ?), but
this doesn't work, so I had to resort to using \[[foo/bar]] instead.
