I'm converting Cyrillic alphabet markdown to html. When h2/3/4/5 elements are made when the alphabet is Latin the header's text is converted to id in a proper way. However when the alphabet is Cyrillic the id-s of the headers become section-1, section-2, section-3 etc.

How can I modify that behavior to be able to generate proper Cyrillic ids?

By default, the auto-identifier tries to convert to ASCII using some character correspondence. Can you post an example headers with cyrillic alphabet?

Otherwise, you should be able to disable the ASCII conversion:

// Remove the previous AutoIdentifierExtension
pipelineBuilder.Extensions.Remove(pipeline.Extensions.Find<AutoIdentifierExtension>());
// Add AutoIdentifier extension with only AutoLink option
pipelineBuilder.UseAutoIdentifiers(AutoIdentifierOptions.AutoLink);

Here's an Cyrillic Header

Здравейте, аз съм Петър и съм програмист

When I did as you said - I removed the extension and used AutoLink - the Ids started converting properly to Cyrillic. Thanks!
