Description

Author: avarab

Description:
The HTML spec mandates that id="" be encoded, we follow this in TOC headers but
not in id's specified e.g. with <span>, as a result manually specified links
within a page break if they contain characters that should be encoded.

Testcase:
"""
FORCETOC

multibæt

<span id="bæt">byte</span>
backlink

"""
The inline TOC links will work but not the manually specified backlink

TOC links are encoded as a special case in the parser (see $canonized_headline),
this needs to be put into some general encoding routine in Sanitizer or something.

Version: 1.6.x
Severity: blocker
OS: Linux
