does fireball markdown support anchor links?

[Alice Williams]

Is there a way to get the same HTML anchor links like this:

<a href = "#anchorname">Link text</a>

<a name="anchorname"></a>

the gitlab version of markdown supports these links this way:

[link text](#anchor)

Heading <a name="anchor"></a>

but this does not work with fireball version of markdown.

thanks for any suggestions!
Alice
