Shoot, I totally forgot that content would already be escaped... interesting dilemma here actually, since in-line elements probably should be stripped when generating the TOC. Ideally, I think getting the text from .textContent on the header should be shown, which is kind of annoying to get without DOM apis.

We see something possibly related over at jupyterlab/jupyterlab#14367 (sorry, I was not sure if you prefer new issues or comment here) - the link in the title is rendered as HTML:

The title in question is # [JupyterLab](http://jupyterlab.github.io/jupyterlab/) in markdown (and actually ideally we skip it as this is just the title).

Yep, this is the same underlying issue

Wow, that was a lesson in insanity! HTML entities are special.

I confirm, with v0.24.2 the TOC is rendered correctly in my projects.

Thank you!
