Markdown docs: internal links and footnotes

Hi all.

Am I doing them wrong?

Internal Links

…within a document (e.g. for a Table of Contents). The example uses them, but I can’t get them to work(?)

Contents:
- [Apple](#apple)
- [Banana](#banana)
- [The Others](#the-others)

(...)

# See example; doesn't seem to work:
<h2 id="apple">Apple</h2>

# Also doesn't work:
## Banana {#banana}

Footnotes

# Doesn't work:
Some text[^1]

[^1]: This is a footnote about some text

Not supported? …Or user error?

Any help gratefully received; thanks in advance :slight_smile:

(Great app, BTW. I particularly like the fact it supports YAML frontmatter and Mermaid).

I tried tables, but there is nothing more than you can select from the menu.
So MarkDown is still on a low / early level of implementation.

Appreciate this is an old post, but seen as this was the only thing that came up when I too was trying to find the answer, thought I may as well comment.

I wasn’t able to find the documentation for this, but figured it out by looking at the URL used to link directly to the heading (e.g. hover over the heading and select the hash tag that appears, this takes you to the URL for that section). This revealed that you need to preface the link with a h- as demonstrated:

## Contents
- [Introduction](#h-introduction)
- [Background](#h-background)
- [Conclusion and Further Research](#h-conclusion-and-further-research)

## Introduction

Where you start.

## Background 

The biggest bit.

## Conclusion and Further Research

Last paragraph.

Not sure what the solution is for footnotes however…
