Markdown anchor in dev.to post links properly but element ends up behind the top nav-bar.

In markdown, you can use an anchor to link specific sections of your post this naturally also works here in Dev.to posts but when trying to use it the title of the anchored section ends up hidden behind the navbar, just like like this example below:

Anchor to section below.

# This Title will end up hidden behind the nav-bar

From here it's visible.

What's the best solution or workaround for this while writing here at dev.to?

For clarity, the code for how to replicate it:

to create the link:

[Anchor to section below](#anchorname)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Linked markdown section:

<a name="anchorname"></a> # Normal Markdown Title Here(ends up hidden)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
