Re: [Docutils-develop] How to prevent mapping from underscore to hyphen in restructuredText targets in docutils?

[puntaier <pun...@gt...>]

further::

     .. _`here space is removed`:

         NOT removed: At the target, space is replaced by ``-`` in the 
HTML id.

         But this |here space is removed| fails, because space is 
removed in the HTML.

     .. |here space is removed| replace:: `some link text 
<somefile.html#here space is removed>`__

Note, that pandoc leaves links and targets as is and from HTML there is 
no reason to change them, either.

I think this might be considered a bug.
