Create anchors using span tag rather than anchor tag

This makes a ton of sense to me. 👏

Seems like it would help with some sticky issues in 🐛 ID's are stripped from links Needs work , many of which arise from conflating "links" (<a> with href) with "anchors" (<a> with id).

The ckeditor maintainers have started working on a native editor plugin for anchors (they're calling them "Bookmarks"). Maybe consider proposing your idea in the related github issue?

I commented on that github issue: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/17063#issuecomment-2353241339

Thanks for linking the CKE issue @justcaldwell and @sonfd, I added a comment to the thread as well!

It seems like the CKE folks are okay with this staying as an <a> tag vs a <span> tag, so if it makes sense for them there I'd say it makes sense here. https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/17063

In that case, this issue can likely be closed, unless anyone has objections?

@morganlyndel, that makes sense to me. No objection here.

Agreed. No concerns from me.

Given no other input, I'm going to close this one. Thanks!
