DocDown inserting hidden bookmarks in document?

[skotzko]

I noticed that DocDown is creating what I think are Word bookmarks (these grey brackets) around all the sections in the document. I'm not sure how to get rid of them. They aren't in my markdown file.

Looks like this is a default Pandoc feature called auto_identifiers, although it isn't immediately apparent why it affects Word output documents. You can disable it easily, though - open the Preferences window, and at the bottom in 'Other options', update the Markdown extensions line to read +smart+escaped_line_breaks-auto_identifiers.

Aha! That worked, thank you
