Hi,

I've been doing several tests:

The GitHub formas does (from github.com), to resolve links:
- It downcases the header string
- remove anything that is not a letter, number, space or hyphen
- changes any space to a hyphen.
- If that is not unique, add "-1", "-2", "-3",... to make it unique

Using the markdown_github, trying to convert to html, convert to follow:
Header:
<h1 id="title">1. Title</h1> (fail, must be id="1-title")
Link:
<a href="#1-title">1. Title</a> (correct)

Using --toc option, also do the same:
<ul>
<li><a href="#title">1. Title</a></li>
</ul>

Seeing a odt converted file, the title destination (right-click in the link, modify hyperlink, destination in the document), appear as "1.1. Title".

I try to disable the auto_identifiers extension (markdown_github-auto_identifiers) but not work:
<ul>
<li><a>1. Title</a></li>
</ul>

<h1>1. Title</h1>

<a href="#1-title">1. Title</a>


Disabling not workaround the problem :-(
