However, it also seems that this is an arbitrary decision by sourcehut. There doesn't seem to be anything in the CommonMark spec which prevents the id attribute. The commonMark spec explicitly supports raw HTML including attributes. This also makes me think the problem is not with the org mode exporter either. Basically, sourcehut is using the commonMark spec plus their own 'extensions/modifications' to that spec. The org exporter is not breaking the commonMark spec. Org mode exports could use what could be argued a simpler link target export style, but perhaps using the 'raw' HTML approach makes it more flexible/compliant with different markdown flavors? Problem is, changing this now could result in lots of breakage for others where it is now working. I note that in the email thread you referenced, the last post suggests setting up a custom readme format which would allow you to use HTML. Maybe that is the easiest route to take - org -> html with custom readme? -- Tim Cross
