Hardly any of the documentation in the docs-folder have links, and you can have links in Markdown.

No named paragraphs. I have no idea how to create a link to specific paragraph in MD.

The GitHub-flavoured markdown uses
[<descriptive name>](#<section-name>), where <section-name> is the lowercase form of the section title, with the spaces replaced by a minus (-). It looks like that is the standardized form (though I'm not 100% sure of that).

Pandoc also supports: [<section title>], which I currently use with Jaybird, but that isn't supported by GitHub.


With Markdown Viewer Webext for firefox (https://github.com/KeithLRobertson/markdown-viewer) I've got for:
[ABC](#SQL Samples:)
[SQL Samples:]
the following result:

[ABC](#SQL Samples:) [SQL Samples:]

(Yes, I have a section 'SQL Samples' in that document).

I.e. suggested appears to be non-standard extensions and IMO bad style for us.


Compare https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FirebirdSQL/jaybird/master/src/documentation/release_notes.md with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FirebirdSQL/jaybird/Branch_2_1/src/etc/release_notes.html


I've agreed that MD is much better for reviewing compared with tool-written html. If we want to optimize our docs for good reviewing let's go in this direction. In other aspects HTML appears better.
