947579 - Strange things happen to headings whose text is "content"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Will Bamberg [:wbamberg]]

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/User:wbamberg/Macros/Source. This page contains just this:

<h2>content</h2>

i.e. a heading with the name "content". The Wiki generates some strange markup in there:

<h2 id="content"><a class="edit-section" data-section-id="content" data-section-src-url="/en-US/docs/User:wbamberg/Macros/Source?raw=true&amp;section=content" href="/en-US/docs/User:wbamberg/Macros/Source$edit?section=content&amp;edit_links=true" title="Edit section">Edit</a>content</h2>

This also has the effect of making the heading really big. I'm guessing that it automatically gives the header an ID matching the heading text, but the ID "content" has a special meaning for the Wiki.

This is a real use case for me! One of the properties of the SDK Request class is called "content".
