marked and cross references
ByWord has a very nice example document. I'm new to markdown and multi markdown. One of the very nice features in their example document is the use of cross references in longer documents. When I open a file with cross refs in ByWord these links work perfectly. When I open in Marked they don't. Instead I just see the underlying code, e.g.:
Summary [section-summary]
Am I doing something wrong? Or will a future version of Marked allow for cross refs? These are actually quite important to me.
BTW, love Marked and looking forward to 1.3 release!

Hi Matthew,
The version of MultiMarkdown 3 that is used in Marked required cross-reference targets to be headlines: `## Section 1 [sect1]`. A link to that would look like `[Linked text][sect1]`.
Thanks,
Brett

I believe my links are in the format you. For example I use:
Preparation [section-preparation]
with the link to it being: [Preparation][section-preparation]
All this works fine in ByWord. But when I open in Marked what I see is just this code, not an actual link. (Note: links I've written in Byword to URLs show up in Marked just fine).
I'm attaching a sample document that shows up fine in ByWord, but cross refs don't work in Marked.
I realize I may be doing something wrong, but it seems like I'm on target. Perhaps there's some small detail I'm messing up on.

I just tested your document in the new version of Marked, and it works perfectly, but version 1.2 might have something strange going on. I updated the version of MultiMarkdown for 1.3, so this should fix it. The new version should be out today or tomorrow. It's been approved, I just need to get some press materials ready for the release.

Gotcha. Okay, now I'm mega excited about 1.3!!!!! As I understand it 1.3 will allow for multiple custom CSS styles (this is a huge improvement for me). I'm very happy to hear MMD has been updated also. Six months ago I didn't even know about Marked. Today I can't imagine working without it. Killer app.
