How can I add links to BitBucket markdown, that work in browser?

[Julian König]

I am familiar with the markdown syntax and how to create links there.

However, when I click on a link like "https://<mydomain>/bitbucket/projects/<...>/browse/README.md#link_to_section" it doesn't jump to the appropriate section. When the page is fully loaded and I press enter again in the browser's navigation bar, it works.

I assume that this is a problem with interaction of JavaScript and php (client sided vs. server sided) and so my problem can not be solved. Anyways, hopefully someone has a solution for this.

Thanks in advance!

With kind regards,

Jo

Hello Julian,

Your issue may possibly be a defect in the product which has already been reported. There is a workaround which allows you to link internally to the anchor within your wiki page. The example looks as follows:

Example: [Section Title](#section-title) links to <a name="section-title"></a>.

You may find the bug request at Support internal/anchor links in rendered Markdown. Additionally, there is a community post which also discusses how to use the anchors at Markdown internal links support in Bitbucket Server.

I hope this information proves helpful and assist with a workaround and additional information around the issue.
