I am trying to have a markdown as some kind of specification document. As part of this I would like to be able to refer (through my code) to some kind of anchor in a markdown file.

Anchors would be to something like:

[1.0] Spec item 1
[1.1] ...
[2.0] ...

In my code (C / python / perl / etc.), python example:

for this in that:
     print(this)   # (linkToMarkdown:[1.0])
