rstudio - Use internal links in RMarkdown HTML output -

i using r studio create markdown document. tried:

jump [header 1](#anchor) 

i set link when reader clicks it, can jump specific point on page.
let's point want them directed has header "##test".

here solution html documents using jquery:

--- title: "internal links" output: html_document ---  # first section  ## second section  ### third section   <script type="text/javascript">   // when document rendered...   $(document).ready(function() {     // ...select header elements...     $('h1, h2, h3, h4, h5').each(function() {       // ...and add id them corresponding 'titles'       $(this).attr('id', $(this).html());     });   }); </script>   <a href="#first section">go first section</a><br> <a href="#second section">go second section</a><br> <a href="#third section">go third section</a> 

as comments point out, select headers, read out content (e.g. "first section") , add attribute id value corresponding specific content each header. can link header using #header (e.g. #first section).

---

this of course extendable other elements wish put anchor on. if want link of chunks, add script document:

<script type="text/javascript">   $(document).ready(function() {     $('pre.r').each(function(i) {       $(this).attr('id', 'chunk_' + i);     });   }); </script> 

now can link chunks using <a href="chunk_i">my chunk</a> i goes 0, first chunk, n, last chunk in document.
