Links don't work in self-contained HTML export anymore
Can't really say when this started, but links in self-contained HTML export don't work anymore. They exist, but clicking them doesn't do anything. I think the reason is, that the generated ids for linkable elements are generated wrong and thus the linked element can just not be found.
Example:
# Start
This is some text.
And [this](#a-heading-1) a link.
## A Heading 1
Some text.
## A Heading 2
Some other text.
Results in this html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- I removed the head since it slowed down the preview --!>
</head>
<body class="markdown-body vscode-body vscode-light">
<div class="content">
<h1 data-line="0" class="code-line" id="start-2">Start</h1>
<p data-line="2" class="code-line">This is some text.
And <a href="#a-heading-1" data-href="#a-heading-1">this</a> a link.</p>
<h2 data-line="5" class="code-line" id="a-heading-1-2">A Heading 1</h2>
<p data-line="7" class="code-line">Some text.</p>
<h2 data-line="9" class="code-line" id="a-heading-2-2">A Heading 2</h2>
<p data-line="11" class="code-line">Some other text.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see, the id for "A Heading 1" is now a-heading-1-2
.
So somehow the postfix -2
got added. It seems like it did so for all ids.
In another document of mine (which I can't share here) the postfix -3
got added for seemingly every id (didn't check them all since there are a quite a lot).
Found something out: this happens when exporting multiple times during the same "session".
Each time this number gets increased by one.
Restarting VSCode fixes the problem for the next export.
I also meets this issue. Is there anyway to clear the id generating history after finishing the exporting of current *.md to self-contained html?
