headingAnchors.md

GFMD removes special characters (such as the brackets) when generating anchors

Other characters include non alphanumeric characters like colon, semi-colon, etc.

Notice that the anchors for the three headings below all resolve to foo-bar (but subsequent ones will be appended with a unique number).

Foo: Bar

Foo (Bar)

Foo Bar

Does GitHub dasherize?
