does fireball markdown support anchor links?

[David Chambers]

You're quite right, Fletcher. Thank you for correcting me. :)

One thing to keep in mind, Alice, is that Markdown is a superset of HTML,
so one is free to write HTML in cases where there is no Markdown-specific
equivalent. Using <a name="anchorname"></a> is an option, though not a
pretty one.
