MD051 false positives for section titles with image in them about markdownlint

[DavidAnson]

GitHub creates the following anchor for your original example: #buy-. Using that syntax does not produce a warning from markdownlint: https://dlaa.me/markdownlint/#%25m%23%20Issue%201016%0A%0A%23%23%20Buy%20!%5BIcon%5D(..%2Fresources%2Ficons%2Fbuy.png)%0A%0A%5BLink%5D(%23buy-)%0A

You can read more about this rule's support for the GitHub algorithm toward the bottom of this documentation page: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/main/doc/md051.md

It seems like you are using some other platform/algorithm which includes the image description in automatically created anchor links. You may be able to create a named anchor or use an HTML anchor tag to create a custom name and reference that instead. The documentation above includes examples of both.

Thanks a lot, you are absolutely correct. The links were working when I used the VS Code native Markdown preview, which put me on the wrong track, but on GitHub they obey different rules. markdownlint works fine with GitHub style links which is good enough for me since GitHub is the intended target of my Markdowns. Thanks again.
