This involves some HTML in your Markdown, but isn’t very difficult. You’re just going to add an anchor tag (with an ID but no href) immediately above the heading, like so:

<a id=“some_examples”></a>
## Some Examples

When you’ve got that, you can just use the anchor in a Markdown link:

I’ve provided a few [examples](#some_examples) to illustrate this concept.

I’m pretty sure that “oh, shoot, things got wonky… toss a 13th month in here real quick” is due to people trying to force months to fit weeks.

It’s the opposite of what I was saying about the role that months play in timekeeping & how they work.

ALSO, the same can be said for weeks & leap days… so if it’s a point against months, it’s just as much a point against weeks.

Months are one of the best ways for a low-tech/pre-tech culture to keep track of dates (using the Zodiac for something it can actually do—act as a calendar you can see no matter where you are in the world).

Keeping them around is a sensible fail-safe in case some nuclear power sets us back into the dark ages.

I’m guessing that if you have the right kind of Pal, you could figure out a way to Pay them to help you figure it out…
