What is the equivalent of .. foo in markdown?

[nikomatsakis]

It would be really helpful to have a "cheat sheet" for comparing rst to markdown-- I didn't find one in the docs in an obvious place. I've got rst like this:

.. _fls_83182bfa9uqb:

Macros
======

and I can't tell what the equivalent is in markdown (if there is one). It is not, from what I can tell, a "directive" but rather a "role", but not an inline one... help!

No it's not 😅 it's a target

@chrisjsewell 🤣 maybe I'll rethink answering discussions on the move¹

I'm going to delete this because it's just going to confuse things!

@nikomatsakis now that I'm back on a full screen, as @chrisjsewell correctly identifies -- that is a target.

In MyST Markdown, we have a couple of ways of generating a target. The most frequently used variants are

(target)=

## A heading

and the name / label option in a directive:

```{image} ...
:name: target
```
