@fabbra Hello, and sorry for responding so late (several months, actually). I accidentally unwatched my own repository, and missed several issues in the process. I didn't realize this until right now, though.

My apologies for the delayed response; I will look into the issue (and hopefully fix it) this evening.

Did you find a workaround for yourself? I'm sorry if you had to stop using my tool due to me not fixing this in time.

I suppose there might be a more elegant solution to this?

I think the behavior is probably either caused by GitHub's web API, or by some internal code of the module. In the later case, I just need to change some code, and in the former one, I will parse the HTML and do some changes to the parsed HTML (using sed would probably cause issues in case the string "user-content- is used within a code box, for example.

Turns out the behavior to start header ids with user-content- is GitHub-specific behavior (and the offline-option that gh-md-to-html provides actually imitates that behavior on purpose). This behavior is also intended, because it ensures that the resulting HTML file can be embedded into any website, for example using a self-written static site generator, without clashing with anchors used by the rest of the website provided none of them starts with user-content-.

I fixed this now by making the tool change all internal links from <a href="#foobar"> to <a href="#user-content-foobar">.
Thanks again for filing this issue! :D
