The following works for me:

Table of contents
=================

* [Introduction](#introduction)

Introduction <a id="introduction"></a>
============

Blah blah.

Please note I'm using id, not name.

EDIT: <a id="introduction"></a> works fine, but <a id="introduction"/>, although seemingly working, will break subsequent internal links (such as [[otherfile.md]]). Not sure whether or not this is a bug.

There is a closed list of attributes allowed for each element. I'm surprised that id is in the list.

The IDs come for free from the header elements automatically. Spaces are turned into hyphens.
