I’ve got this pattern for rendering some specific headings in templates:

`{{ “## Summary” | markdown | safe }}`

It works fine, but does not render either the built in anchor, or my custom one in a modified `anchor-link.html` partial.

How can I get markdown headings with anchors directly in my template?

Thanks in advance.

It should work in the `next` branch i think?
