Summary

In files like https://gitlab.com/rokejulianlockhart/rokejulianlockhart/-/blob/27f4161caed95f549a25f253682e52198d1e6ec9/readMe.MD?plain=0, I can solely link to the top heading (via https://gitlab.com/rokejulianlockhart/rokejulianlockhart/-/blob/27f4161caed95f549a25f253682e52198d1e6ec9/readMe.MD?plain=0#profile-biography-and-repository-information) because, as https://gitlab.com/rokejulianlockhart/rokejulianlockhart/-/blob/27f4161caed95f549a25f253682e52198d1e6ec9/readMe.MD?plain=1#L63:~:text=%3C/style%3E-,%23,-Profile%20Biography%20and demonstrates, it is the sole heading defined by Markdown's equivalent to the HTML <h1> tag - #. All of my other headings are formatted as

1.  <details open> <summary> <h2> Table of Contents </h2> </summary>

    Contents

    </sdetails>

which renders as

  1. Table of Contents

    Contents

so that they can be collapsed. However, using the <h2> tag, instead of ##, prevents the GitLab file renderer from creating link icons (so that I can copy a fragment which shall direct the user to the heading).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a Markdown file (file.txt.MD).
  2. Input <h1> Heading </h1>.
  3. Notice that GitLab doesn't allow you to link to it.

What is the current bug behavior?

However, using the <h2> tag, instead of ##, prevents the GitLab file renderer from creating link icons (so that I can copy a fragment which shall direct the user to the heading).

What is the expected correct behavior?

I should be able to link to HTML headings.
