Hey Bryan - anchor links refer to named cells, so instead of a cell like
md`<a name="anchorplace"></a><sup>1</sup> **The link should lead here!**`
You’ll want to do:
anchorplace = md`<sup>1</sup> **The link should lead here!**`
The distinction is that the output of your cell is actually a separate page - it’s an iframe under the code. Naming the cell like ↑ creates an id on the top frame instead, so it’s linkable from other cells.
