I'm trying to create an anchor link in markdown, and the heading I want to link to has both a punctuation mark and an ampersand. I cannot get the anchor link to work.
The heading I want to link to is as follows:
## Selected Essays, Features & Reviews
And I have tried both of the following without success:
[Essays, Features & Reviews](#selected-essays-features-&-reviews)
[Essays, Features & Reviews](#selected-essays-features-reviews)
I understand that the punctuation should be removed so I've ignored the comma, but it still isn't working so I assume I'm doing something wrong with the ampersand.
Thanks in advance!
On Github all entities (including ampersand) in anchors will be removed from between the dashes so your link will look like:
[Essays, Features & Reviews](#selected-essays-features--reviews)
You can inspect Github generated anchors in your browser by pointing mouse at small chain link icon that appears next to headings when you hover over them.
