Markdown: Reference to section from another file

Question

I have two markdown files: a parent.md and a child.md.

So parent.md:

# Main section

## sub-section

I'd like to make reference to ## sub-section from child.md.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

In MarkDown, reference is possible using hyperlink :

#  Main section

##  [sub-section](./child.md#sub-section)    
##  [sub-section](/child.md#sub-section)
##  [sub-section](child.md#sub-section)

Unfortunately the direct embedding of another Markdown file is not possible

Alternatives

An alternative is the use of an incision from a capture of the other file:

#  Main section

##  sub-section

Answer 2

What worked for me is in parent.md:

[link](./file.md#section-name) // note the dash!

In child.md:

## ...
## section name

I tested this on my local via JetBrains IDE.
