Is it not possible to simply use inline text html link to jump to container on same page ?  
if so whats the proper syntax ?

container link is _conduit_

I would do it like this in Markdown:

`because of rodent damage [conduit](#jumphere) is highly recommended`

Use a `#` pound or hash symbol and the name of the ID you want to jump to. In this case, the container has an ID of `jumphere`.

When the Markdown is parsed, it will output:

`because of rodent damage <a href="#jumphere">conduit</a> is highly recommended`

Which is the equivalent of an HTML Anchor, whereby you click a link and jump to another section of the page.

If you need to navigate onto another webpage and scoll down to a particular point, then include the page URL before the pound or hash character like this:

`because of rodent damage [conduit](https://example.com/mypage#jumphere) is highly recommended`

Of course, there are possibly other ways of doing this. But that’s how I tend to do it. 🙂

thanks for syntax clarification , i like simple … Magellan cost me several hours of bumbling.  
since page has basically 2 sections a button on the bottom to pop up to the top will suffice.
