I believe permalinks are removed when submitting

• lucb1e 3y ago
  (Note that this is not called a permalink but a fragment identifier https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/4_2_Fragments.html https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/4_2_Fragments.html or, more memorably, the hash part of the URL https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/hash https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/hash. Permalinks can be entirely different URLs, like a DOI link that is on a different domain and protocol altogether, but that will keep referring to this content https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink)

    Thanks! I referred to them as anchors.

      I think pedantically anchors are the markers in the document, and the URL fragments refer to the anchors to tell the browser to scroll there. If I'm wrong, someone will be along to correct me...

    Ah I was referring to the github specific terminology when sharing a link to a line inside a code file.
