How to delete first underscore in section ID?

Hi guys,

== This Is A Test

produces

<h2 id="_this_is_a_test">This Is A Test<h2>

How can I get rid of the first underscore in the section ID?

Thanks!

Best regards

See 16.2. Auto-generated IDs

In my experience, people who ignore the warning and set the idprefix to empty generally thereby introduce several invalid ids into their document.

Agreed. It can be done, but it's a "use at your own risk" sort of thing. Generally, HTML doesn't care what characters are used in an ID, but other output formats do.

In my case (HTML output only and non-English document language) setting the attribut

:idprefix:

works very well. Thank you for your help!
