Stop pandoc adding id automatically

Question

I am using Pandoc's extention of markdown to produce HTML.

The following markdown:

#test{#specificId}
##test2
###test3

Produces the following html

<h1 id="specificId">test</h1>
<h2 id="test2">test2</h2>
<h3 id="test3">test3</h3>

Ideally, It would produce this:

<h1 id="specificId">test</h1>
<h2>test2</h2>
<h3>test3</h3>

I couldn't find an option in the documentation that would make the output only add an ID if it was explicitly added to the markdown although I don't really know what to search for.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

I found the answer.

The "feature" is called auto_identifiers. It can be disabled in the command by changing -f markdown to -f markdown-auto_identifiers

Hope this helps someone else.
