Convert your section headings to level 2 headings as those are correct for your structure:

## Let’s recall some basics

Then if you right click and inspect them in the preview panel you will see they have an ID so you copy that and a # to the start and use that as your link (the part in the parenthesis)

[Let’s recall some basics](#Lets-recall-some-basics)

Thankyou so much :)

No problem, you haven't quite got it right (nearly there).

The links should be all lower case and you need to remove things like question marks etc.

So #lets-recall-some-basics (lower case "l") and #concept-of-padding (lower case "C") and #why-structure-padding (lower case "W" and remove the question mark).

Yaa got it right.

What are you trying to do, and what have you tried so far?

When you create a post here, there's a help section to the right with the basics (including links) and a link off to more information about markdown.

Essentially you do this:

[Hello I am the text of a link](https://dev.to/foobar)

If that's not what you're having trouble with, ask away.
