 * **DO NOT** use version numbers in the links as the version numbers will often be missed when releasing new versions thus point to the wrong thing or not exist at all. Instead avoid linking directly to versioned information. If you still need a link you should first try to link to a page that contains all the versions so someone can choose or link to the latest which may be out of sync with the content but should usually remain valid.
 
+* **DO NOT** use upper case in the anchor tag links like `#Samples`. Using upper case in anchor tag links will not work when we convert them to html as they are usually case sensitive. For this reason the guidance is to use lower case for any anchor tags we have in all our MD files in the repo as this will help ensure that links work in other contexts. For example use `https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java#client-new-releases` instead of `https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java#Client-New-Releases`
+
 * **DO** think about the longevity of your links and be sure to pick links we believe will remain stable and around for a long time. So no temporary links or links that point to moving targets like a repository branch which may not contain the files in the same locations over time.
