title: HTML anchors in a Jupyter notebook on Github
body: <p>So there is a lot out there about creating anchors in markdown, and creating internal table-of-contents-type anchors in a notebook.  What I need though is the ability to access an anchor in my notebook on Github from an external source, e.g.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://github.com/.../mynotebook.ipynb#thiscell
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've got a number of interactive tutorials hosted this way, and a single manual that I want to be able to link to sections of the notebooks for.  I can add the anchor tags into markdown cells just fine, using: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a id='thiscell'&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I try using the link as I wrote above, it just loads the notebook at the top, as if there was no reference to an anchor.</p>
