[O] Bug: "file:" protocol link with "#anchor" bad HTML export [9.1.14 (9.1.14-1-g4931fc-elpa @ /home/phil/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.1.14/)]

[Philip Hudson]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

    https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I add into Worg file "worg-faq.org" a hyperlink using the "file:"
protocol, linking to a sub-heading in Worg file "worg-git.org". Exact
syntax quoted below, from an email thread with Bastien.

Expected behavior:

I expect the HTML exporter automatically used by Worg to generate an
"https:" protocol hyperlink which links to a specific, existing HTML
anchor ID in file "worg-git.html".

Actual behavior:

The exporter generates an "https:" protocol hyperlink that points to a
non-existent anchor ID in file "worg-git.html".

I have left the mis-generated link in place on Worg for the time
being. (My previous push included a correct, explicit "https:"
protocol link; I can revert and push again at any time). You can
examine it at:

  
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development

at the bottom of list item 2.


See below for the exact syntax of the Org link.

It looks like a bug.

The section has a CUSTOM_ID property, and the value of this property
is used as the HTML anchor, but the stored link uses another method
when exporting to HTML, hence the bug.

Could you report it to the mailing list?  Don't forget to mention your
Org version and a minimal recipe on how to reproduce the bug.  It is
important enough to block the release of Org 9.2.

I won't have time to look at it before nov. 19th, though.  I hope
Nicolas or someone else can have a look.

Thanks!
