[Doxygen-users] References within a markdown page

[Tim R. <tim...@gm...>]

Can't get links within a single markdown working for HTML output (as described 
in http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/markdown.html#md_header_id). 

Here both methods won't navigate to the 'Author' section:
[Author](#author)
[Author](@ref author)

... text ...

## Author ##   {#author}
bla


My current workaround is:
[Author](#author)

... text ...

## <a name="author"/>Author
bla


But seems like a hack. Any idea why the documented methods won't work ? 
(Doxygen 1.8.11 here).
