# Creating an anchor in Markdown
Is it a native Markdown "tag" for creating an anchor? Unfortunately,
I haven't any information about it at
[Markdown syntax](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) page.
Of course, I know that I can use HTML tag to do it,
for example <a name="foo" />, but I don't want to mix Markdown
and HTML code if it's not necessary.
BTW, ikiwiki doesn't displays the #foo anchor in the example
("To link to an anchor inside a page...") at [[WikiLink]] page...

Considering a hierarchy like `foo/bar/bar`, I had the need to link from the
`foo/bar/bar` page to the `foo/bar` one. It would have been convenient to
simply write [[wikilink]]s like `\[[../bar]]` (or even just `\[[..]]`?), but
this doesn't work, so I had to resort to using `\[[foo/bar]]` instead.
