 The current Plugin [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/readme.txt
 ReadMe files] use MarkDown syntax and over time these can contain a great
 deal of information for users, for example in the FAQs.

 The length of these sections sometimes makes finding the part you need a
 case of trawling through the entire document or searching for words in the
 browser window and hoping you are using the same vocabulary as the ReadMe
 author.

 I think a useful enhancement would be to add the capability to define in-
 document links to allow for things like a table of contents at the top of
 the FAQ section. Currently you can create a link in such a table like
 this:

 {{{
 [FAQ 1](#1)
 }}}

 But I cannot find a way to create the linked section later in the document
 as any HTML, name or id parameters seem to get stripped out.

 If this is already possible, please can you tell me how to accomplish this
 and accept my apologies from opening a ticket.
