One issue is: if a title have the "." char, the generated ID also have it and the anchor not works.

Great plugin, I use for years!

by default, uses toc with the header index. Are you using a custom anchorName function?

This same problem happens with docstrap. I have a fix for it.

jdittrich commented 9 years ago

Same for me. It happens if I use the custom anchorName function to use the already existing id of the headline.

Remarks:

The problem occurs as well if the id/anchor name ends with a "."
It seems that selector query strings (the ones that jQuery uses, like #wrapper div.someclass) need to be escaped if they contain relevant characters like "." or "#". There is a CSS.escape() function in Firefox, though it is not used elsewhere yet. For this case, a polyfill exists.

Also seems problematic when the heading have Colon (:) inside.

I also have this problem with a : ? or .
