Markdown

Markdown is a simple way to mark up text so that it will look good on any device.

You can just use any normal text editor, and mark up your text using simple conventions.

Afterwards you compile the text into html documents.

Cross references to named anchors in mark down.

The current best practise is to use name rather than id for anchors.

Anchors

Cross reference landing points.

The current best practise is to use name rather than id for anchors. For anchors in markdown we just use explicit html <a> tags.

If you use id instead of name, current javascript implementations will create a global variable.

###<a name="moon"></a>Moon Heading

Moon Heading

The moon is a kind of satellite of the planet earth.

###<a name="earth"></a>Earth Heading

Earth Heading

Earth is the planet where the human race lives.

Smartstrong

This does not seem to do anything useful.

Interprets double underscores within words, but lamely.

So lets call it faulty and avoid it.
