TOC links might have an unwanted trailing dash character in their paths

Created on 25 May 2021, over 3 years ago

Updated 30 August 2024, 4 months ago

Any trailing whitespace or non-alphabetical character gets converted into an extra trailing dash in their corresponding TOC menu links.

Try adding an extra space character after your heading elements or simply end one with a question mark.
Examples:

<h2 class="anchor">Academic Writing Submission(s) </h2> translates into #toc-academic-writing-submission-s-
<h2 class="anchor">Recommendation </h2> translates into #toc-recommendation-
<h2 class="anchor">Who can apply?</h2> translates into #toc-who-can-apply-

Use jQuery's trim() function after the conversion to alphabetical.

The issue stated above also happens when the HTML is formed as follows:

<h2> <div>My title goes here</div> </h2>
Forgetting for a moment that this is not the HTML structure all sites would use, it does have the same issue as described in the original report.
Using the attached patch also strips the trailing - in these cases.

Putting this as RTBC since this is a small fix to implement.
