title: Github markdown anchor link with #
body: <p>I'm trying to update a README.md file on Github with an entry about C#. I've read numerous posts on how to make in text anchors using markdown. To be clear I have managed to make a link that works just writing Csharp, but I'd very much like to make it work with the hash symbol as well.</p>
  
  <p>So basically I have a table of contents where I want to add C# and link to a point in the text further down with the same name:</p>
  
  <pre><code>## Table of Contents
  
  - [C#](#c#) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(This does not make C# clickable)</p>
  
  <p>And then further down:</p>
  
  <pre><code>## C#
  
  - [Channel9](https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/CSharp-Fundamentals-for-Absolute-Beginners)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried adding forward slash before the hash in both the table of contents and in the main text (i.e. #c/#). Doesn't work. The only way I seem to get the table of contents to make a link out of c# is by doing this (but then it doesn't link to anywhere)</p>
  
  <pre><code>- [C#](c/#)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Sorry this must be a really basic issue but I can't seem to find the solution. </p>
