Contribution guidelines

• I've read the contribution guidelines and wholeheartedly agree

I've found a bug and checked that ...

• ... the problem doesn't occur with the mkdocs or readthedocs themes
• ... the problem persists when all overrides are removed, i.e. custom_dir, extra_javascript and extra_css
• ... the documentation does not mention anything about my problem
• ... there are no open or closed issues that are related to my problem

Description

When I use something like in step #5, the #5 part is rendered as a hyperlink to https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/issues/#, where # is replaced with the provided number, e.g.: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/issues/5:

Expected behaviour

The #x part should be left as it is. I know I can escape it with a backslash, but why does it render into a link to a GH issue?

Actual behaviour

step #1 in a MD file = step #1 in a rendered page

Steps to reproduce

1. Use #1 somewhere in your source MD file.
2. Run mkdocs with material template.
3. Check the rendered page.

Thank for reporting. This is due to the pymdownx.magiclink extension, which you have enabled. If you remove the following lines from mkdocs.yml, hash + number will not be converted anymore:

- pymdownx.magiclink:
      repo_url_shorthand: true
      user: squidfunk
      repo: mkdocs-material

Oh my goodness, what a dumbass I am! Sorry for that. I copied mkdocs.yml from your project to make sure I got everything I needed, commented out the unnecessary things, but didn't notice this one.

My apologies once again and thanks for your great work!
