Markdown > HTML: How to keep fenced DIVs from receiving heading classes?

[PlainMartin]

This Markdown source:

::: {.class1}

# Hello world {.class2}

## Hello again {.class3}

:::

will be converted to:

<section id="hello-world" class="class2 class1">
<h1 class="class2">Hello world</h1>
<h2 class="class3" id="hello-again">Hello again</h2>
</section>

So I get HTML sections with the H1 class(es) and ID added, which is not what I want.

I tried adding --section-divs=false to the command line, but I get the same result.

How could I get

<div class="class1">
<h1 class="class2" id="hello-world">Hello world</h1>
<h2 class="class3" id="hello-again">Hello again</h2>
</div>

Thank you.

Edit: I found that adding a paragraph (even with a single character) right after the fenced DIV marker will give the desired result, but I would still like to know if it can be achieved with a head1 right after the fenced DIV marker.

Using an (possibly empty) HTML comment before the first header should give the desired result:

::: {.class1}

<!-- -->

# Hello world {.class2}

## Hello again {.class3}

:::

Thank you!

So, just for context – this is not considered a bug, but intended functionality? Because I understand when elements will inherit rules, but it gets a bit confusing when they are added to their parents (and as I said, --section-divs=false doesn’t seem to affect this).

It's complicated and remains an open issue. See #5965.
