Does Blot support Markdown’s custom heading IDs? For example, using iA Writer it is possible to change the ID assigned to a heading when it's turned into HTML like so:
### This is a heading with a lot of text [short-id]
You'll then be able to link to #short-id instead of the full heading title.
Yes, this is a feature supported by pandoc, which Blot uses for Markdown conversion. Per their documentation, you can assign attributes to headings using the following syntax:
{#identifier .class .class key=value key=value}
The following headings will all be assigned the identifier apple:
# My heading {#apple}
## My heading ## {#apple}
My other heading {#apple}
