-If you look closely, it starts with the usual syntax for a link, `[]()`, except both the text value and URL of the link are empty. Then we see `{#id-of-the-anchor}`, which is the syntax supported by the [`attr_list`](https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/attr_list/) extension. It sets an HTML id to the anchor element.

 If you add a Markdown anchor right above a heading, this anchor will redirect to the heading itself:
 
 ```md
-[](){#foobar}
+[](){ #foobar }
 ## A verbose title about foobar
 ```
 
 Linking to the `foobar` anchor will bring you directly to the heading, not the anchor itself, so the URL will show `#a-verbose-title-about-foobar` instead of `#foobar`. These anchors therefore act as "aliases" for headings. It is possible to define multiple aliases per heading:
