Hi and good day,

Although footnote links are working in Marked2, intext [links](#1) to an intext anchor are not working, why not?

My Marked editor is Mou, everything working fine there, why not Marked? Please answer this question.

/
[links](id:1 )with best regards,

   I'm not sure what the syntax you're showing is from, but it's not how in-document anchors would work. By default, only headlines get anchors, and in both GFM and MultiMarkdown you can force an anchor ID using syntax (though different between them). If you want to create a custom anchor, you need to use an HTML tag:

    <a id="1">
   

   Could then be linked to with

   [link title](#1)
   

   the id:1 syntax is not a Markdown flavor that Marked recognizes.

   // Please enter a detailed description of the issue // Description of the issue:

   Clicking a content link with href="#anchor" targets incorrectly

   // Please enter a list of steps required to reproduce the issue // Steps to reproduce:

   1. create a "table of contents" w/- label
      
   2. create content which uses blah
      
   3. create target anchor
      
   4. click the content link. It'll go to the toc even though that's wrong...the toc entry does not have name="anchor", it has href="#anchor", it's not a target, it's another link to the same target.

   // If applicable please attach a sample document that causes the issue for you.

   Try using id=anchor instead of name=anchor (that's been deprecated for
   some time). Let me know if that helps, there may still be issues
   surrounding what Marked does to handle its own table of contents links
   that sometimes overrides manual anchors.

   Thanks,
   Brett

   Seems slightly better, but the "in-content" link still fails to navigate to the target properly. It seems to go to the top and then move downward a certain amount that I can't determine any pattern for. It no longer navigates back to the link in the toc however... so that's something ;)

   Ok, I'm on the road for the weekend so I won't be able to look into this further until next week.  Thanks for your patience.
