H1 headers not recognized

[jmalarcon]

Hi:

I've been experimenting with this extension and I'm having trouble to generate level 1 headers using the syntax:

# Header content

It simply doesn't recognize it and generates the text as is (with the hash shown) when I convert to PDF using the extension.

Are you experiencing this problem?

Thanks for your work!

OK, I know what is happening... And it's a small bug.

If the first character in your .md file is # and the file is encoded as UTF8 with BOM, then the PDF converter is not able to correctly identify the # as a header.

If you change the encoding to just UTF8, then there's no problem and works as expected. The problem is always with files with a BOM and a first unrecognized character.

If you use a file encoding without BOM or if you just add a new line as the first content in the file, everything works as expected.

IMHO the extension should check if there's a BOM at the beginning of the file and ignore it before converting.

HTH.

Thanks for info.

I just faced the issue with BOMs and will open a new issue for this to get fixed.
