Steps to reproduce
Insert a <div></div> pair into any note that has headers. Headers following the <div> tag do not appear in link autocomplete after typing #, and in fact can’t be linked to even if typed manually. If the <div> is at the top of the document, no headers will appear.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y]
Behaves like this in the sandbox.
Expected result
Headers are available despite the presence of <div> tags
Actual result
Headers after <div> are ignored

Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
Additional information
Although it affects me, I think this is quite a low priority. It may be this is an unavoidable side-effect of mixing HTML spans in markdown documents, and if so, it’s not the end of the world if this behavior is just the way it is.
