I am trying to convert some naif HTML snippets to markdown, everything works great expect for this strange behaviour that I am curious to know if I am missing something in pandoc or I need to fix it myself.<div><br /></div><div>Having this HTML snippet:</div><div>```</div><div>&lt;p&gt;Lorem &lt;a href="#"&gt;ipsum&lt;/a&gt; dolor &lt;a href="#" class="a"&gt;sit&lt;/a&gt; amet.&lt;/p&gt;<br />```<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Using `link_attributes` extension, it returns:</div><div>```</div><div>$ printf '&lt;p&gt;Lorem &lt;a href="#"&gt;ipsum&lt;/a&gt; dolor &lt;a href="#" class="a"&gt;sit&lt;/a&gt; amet.&lt;/p&gt;' | pandoc --from html --to markdown_strict+link_attributes</div><div>Lorem [ipsum](#) dolor [sit](#){.a} amet.<br /></div><div>```</div><div><br /></div><div>By omitting it, it returns:</div><div>```</div><div><div>$ printf '&lt;p&gt;Lorem &lt;a href="#"&gt;ipsum&lt;/a&gt; dolor &lt;a href="#" class="a"&gt;sit&lt;/a&gt; amet.&lt;/p&gt;' | pandoc --from html --to markdown_strict</div></div><div>Lorem [ipsum](#) dolor &lt;a href="#" class="a"&gt;sit&lt;/a&gt; amet.<br />```</div><div><br /></div><div>I was wondering if there is a way by omitting the `link_attributes` extension to replace anyway the hyperlink with extra attributes, ignoring the latter. The desired result would be:<br /></div><div><div>```</div><div><div>$ printf '&lt;p&gt;Lorem &lt;a href="#"&gt;ipsum&lt;/a&gt; dolor &lt;a href="#" class="a"&gt;sit&lt;/a&gt; amet.&lt;/p&gt;' | pandoc --from html --to markdown_strict</div></div><div>Lorem [ipsum](#) dolor [sit](#) amet.</div><div>```</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you.</div>
