You know what Github markdown really needs? It needs for anchors defined in it to be actual html anchors after interpretation instead of javascript dependent false anchors that don't work without code execution.
- eyelidlessness 7y agoActual HTML anchors require code execution. Like I get that there is a culture of resentment of JS on this site, but the hyperbole is a little absurd. HTML and CSS engines execute code! They can also be made to behave poorly and slowly. JS can even be used to improve those behaviors for some things. One way that's relevant to the parent comment is that scrolling to anchors can be offset to accommodate flexible-height content that obscures them in normal HTML/CSS.
