Link to somewhere in the document - Can't get this to work

Hi everyone. In Marked and several other MD editors, I've used this syntax after a title (or anywhere in the document):

     line_of_text_here. {#my_tag}

Then somewhere else in the document, I can link to that line by using:

     Please see my section about [raising turkeys](#my_tag)

Clicking on the "raising turkeys" link will jump to the "line_of_text_here."

----

This works great in several MD editors and Marked, but it does nothing in MMD Composer. Why?

In MMD Composer, I even see the "{my_tag}"

Do I have to use a different syntax in MMD Composer?

Can someone explain and help?

Thanks very much!

David

   The {#foo} syntax is not part of Markdown or MultiMarkdown. Some other Markdown variants have added it as an extra feature.

   MultiMarkdown does support internal linking to headers and tables -- see the syntax guide below for more information.
