handling dot (.) in heading number scheme

[hellt]

What is the problem?

If the heading has a dot separated number, the link to it is generated incorrectly.

How can I reproduce it?

Create a heading

# 1.1 test heading

Start typing a link in the Markdown body, the dialog with the internal links will suggest 11-test-heading, however, it should be 1-1-test-heading instead.

Probably you didn't enable the githubCompatibility option. (Note it will be changed to slugifyMode) in the next release.

@yzhang-gh enabling this setting had no effect on this particular behavior =(

Alright, I just checked and GitHub/GitLab both generate anchors like 11-test-heading rather than 1-1-test-heading. Which software are you using? Do you confirm 1-1-test-heading really works?

@yzhang-gh I am using Hugo which uses blackfriday markdown engine afaik

here is an example of the heading https://netdevops.me/2019/creating-a-bootstrap-based-front-end-for-your-simple-rest-service/#1-1-get-your-tool-a-web-interface

Thanks for the information. It looks like Hugo is using Goldmark now (the official docs), from where I have seen a default configuration autoHeadingIDType: github. There is also an option plainIDAnchors: true for blackFriday.

Can you please play around with those configurations and see whether it can be compatible with GitHub?

thanks @yzhang-gh !

plainIDAnchors = true

worked
