<title>About READMEs</title> https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-readmes About READMEs - GitHub Docs # About READMEs You can add a README file to your repository to tell other people why your project is useful, what they can do with your project, and how they can use it. ## In this article ## About READMEs You can add a README file to a repository to communicate important information about your project. A README, along with a repository license, citation file, contribution guidelines, and a code of conduct, communicates expectations for your project and helps you manage contributions. For more information about providing guidelines for your project, see Adding a code of conduct to your project and Setting up your project for healthy contributions. A README is often the first item a visitor will see when visiting your repository. README files typically include information on: - Who maintains and contributes to the project - Where users can get help with your project - How users can get started with the project - Why the project is useful - What the project does If you put your README file in your repository&`#39`;s hidden`.github`, root, or`docs` directory, GitHub will recognize and automatically surface your README to repository visitors. If a repository contains more than one README file, then the file shown is chosen from locations in the following order: the`.github` directory, then the repository&`#39`;s root directory, and finally the`docs` directory. When your README is viewed on GitHub, any content beyond 500 KiB will be truncated. If you add a README file to the root of a public repository with the same name as your username, that README will automatically appear on your profile page. You can edit your profile README with GitHub Flavored Markdown to create a personalized section on your profile. For more information, see Managing your profile README. ## Auto-generated table of contents for README files For the rendered view of any Markdown file in a repository, including README files, GitHub will automatically generate a table of contents based on section headings. You can view the table of contents for a README file by clicking the menu icon at the top left of the rendered page. ## Section links in README files and blob pages You can link directly to any section that has a heading. To view the automatically generated anchor in a rendered file, hover over the section heading to expose the icon and click the icon to display the anchor in your browser. For more detailed information about section links, see Section links. ## Relative links and image paths in README files You can define relative links and image paths in your rendered files to help readers navigate to other files in your repository. A relative link is a link that is relative to the current file. For example, if you have a README file in root of your repository, and you have another file in docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, the relative link to CONTRIBUTING.md in your README might look like this: ``` [Contribution guidelines for this project](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) ``` GitHub will automatically transform your relative link or image path based on whatever branch you&`#39`;re currently on, so that the link or path always works. The path of the link will be relative to the current file. Links starting with`/` will be relative to the repository root. You can use all relative link operands, such as`./` and`../`. Your link text should be on a single line. The example below will not work. ``` [Contribution guidelines for this project](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) ``` Relative links are easier for users who clone your repository. Absolute links may not work in clones of your repository - we recommend using relative links to refer to other files within your repository. ## Wikis A README should contain only the necessary information for developers to get started using and contributing to your project. Longer documentation is best suited for wikis. For more information, see About wikis. ## Further reading - Facilitating quick creation and resumption of c…[truncated] <title>content/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax.md</title> https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax.md ## Headings ... To create a heading, add one to six # symbols before your heading text. The number of # you use will determine the hierarchy level and typeface size of the heading. ... When you use two or more headings, GitHub automatically generates a table of contents that you can access by clicking the "Outline" menu icon {% octicon "list-unordered" aria-label="Table of Contents" %} within the file header. Each heading title is listed in the table of contents and you can click a title to navigate to the selected section. ... ## Section links ... If you need to determine the anchor for a heading in a file you are editing, you can use the following basic rules: ... * Letters are converted to lower-case. * Spaces are replaced by hyphens (`-`). Any other whitespace or punctuation characters are removed. * Leading and trailing whitespace are removed. * Markup formatting is removed, leaving only the contents (for example, `_italics_` becomes `italics`). * If the automatically generated anchor for a heading is identical to an earlier anchor in the same document, a unique identifier is generated by appending a hyphen and an auto-incrementing integer. ... The code block below demonstrates the basic rules used to generate anchors from headings in rendered content. ... ```markdown # Example headings ## Sample Section ... ## This&`#39`;ll be a _Helpful_ Section About the Greek Letter Θ! ... A heading containing characters not allowed in fragments, UTF-8 characters, two consecutive spaces between the first and second words, and formatting. ... ## This heading is not unique in the file ... is not unique in the ... TEXT 2 ... non-unique ... > [!NOTE] > If you edit a heading, or if you change the order of headings with "identical" anchors, you will also need to update any links to those headings as the anchors will change. ... ## Custom anchors ... You can use standard HTML anchor tags (` `) to create navigation anchor points for any location in the document. To avoid ambiguous references, use a unique naming scheme for anchor tags, such as adding a prefix to the `name` attribute value. ... You can link to a custom anchor using the value of the `name` attribute you gave the anchor. The syntax is exactly the same as when you link to an anchor that is automatically generated for a heading. ... # Section Heading ... Some body text of this ... <a name="my-custom-anchor-point"></a> ... want to provide a ... link to, but ... doesn&`#39`;t have its own heading. ... TIP] > Custom anchors are not considered by ... automatic naming and numbering behavior of automatic heading links. ... ## Using emojis ... You can add emoji to your writing by typing `:EMOJICODE:`, a colon followed by the name of the emoji. ... `@octocat :+1: This PR looks great - it&`#39`;s ready to merge! :shipit:` ... Typing: will bring up a list of suggested emoji. The list will filter as you type, so once you find the emoji you&`#39`;re looking for, press **Tab** or **Enter** to complete the highlighted result. ...

I&`#39`;ve been poking at writing some documentation, and in the course of playing around with another tool I ran into a discrepancy between how GitHub generates heading slugs vs. how npm renders them, in particular when emoji appears in the header. I&`#39`;ve created a test repo and published it. It appears that npm strips emoji from the anchor entirely, while GitHub includes the emoji&`#39`;s GH nickname in the anchor. This isn&`#39`;t blocking anything for me; this issue is by way of cataloguing the differences between GH&`#39`;s rendering and ours — apologies if this is a known thing. If so, please don&`#39`;t hesitate to close this out!

This creates broken anchor links. ## Expected Behavior Based on the test fixtures, emojis should be **completely removed** from slugs: - `"😄 unicode emoji"` → `"-unicode-emoji"` ✓ ## Actual Behavior Emojis composed with variation selectors leave the invisible variation selector character in the slug: - `"🗃️ File Cabinet"` → `"️-file-cabinet"` ✗ (contains invisible U+FE0F) ## Reproduction ```javascript const { slug } = require(&`#39`;github-slugger&`#39`;); // Simple emoji - works correctly console.log(slug(&`#39`;✅ Checkmark&`#39`;)); // Output: "-checkmark" ✓ // Emoji with variation selector - leaves invisible character console.log(slug(&`#39`;🗃️ File Cabinet&`#39`;)); // Output: "️-file-cabinet" ✗ (starts with invisible U+FE0F) // Inspect the bytes to see the problem const result = slug(&`#39`;🗃️ File Cabinet&`#39`;); console.log(&`#39`;Bytes:&`#39`;, Buffer.from(result).toString(&`#39`;hex&`#39`;)); // Output: "efb88f2d66696c652d636162696e6574" // ^^^^^^ = U+FE0F (variation selector - should not be here!) ``` ## Root Cause Some emojis are composed of multiple Unicode characters: 1. **Base emoji character** (e.g., `U+1F5C3` = 🗃) 2. **Variation Selector-16** (`U+FE0F`) - makes the emoji display in color Examples: - `🗃️` = `U+1F5C3` + `U+FE0F` (2 characters) - `1️⃣` = `U+0031` + `U+FE0F` + `U+20E3` (3 characters) - `✅` = `U+2705` (1 character) ✓ The current implementation removes the visible emoji character but leaves the invisible variation selector behind. ## Impact This breaks markdown anchor links in real-world usage: ```markdown ## 🗃️ File Management Link to section: [See File Management](`#-file-management`) ``` The link won&`#39`;t work because the slug contains an invisible character that doesn&`#39`;t match. ## Affected Emojis Common emojis with variation selectors include: - 🗃️ (File Cabinet) - ☑️ (Check Box) - ✔️ (Check Mark) - ⭐️ (Star) - ❤️ (Red Heart) - 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ (Keycap Numbers) - Many others with U+FE0F modifier ## Proposed Fix Strip variation selectors (U+FE00 through U+FE0F) after processing emojis: ```javascript function slug(value) { // ... existing slug generation code ... // Remove variation selectors that may remain after emoji removal result = result.replace(/[\uFE00-\uFE0F]/g, &`#39`;&`#39`;); return result; } ``` ## Workaround Users can post-process the slug output: ```javascript const { slug } = require(&`#39`;github-slugger&`#39`;); const result = slug(&`#39`;🗃️ File Cabinet&`#39`;).replace(/[\uFE00-\uFE0F]/g, &`#39`;&`#39`;); // Output: "-file-cabinet" ✓ ``` ## Environment - `github-slugger` version: 2.0.0 (latest) - Node.js version: v20+ - Platform: All platforms ## Additional Context Similar issues have been addressed in related libraries: - [emoji-regex `#45`](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/emoji-regex/issues/45) - variation selector handling - [emojibase `#1`](https://github.com/milesj/emojibase/issues/1) - variation selector capture This is becoming more common as modern emoji keyboards automatically add variation selectors for better rendering. --- **Would you like me to submit a pull request with the fix?** --- ### Timeline **`@wooorm`** commented · Oct 17, 2025 at 6:45am > this project follows how github works, so whether this is a bug depends on what github does; see the build scripts for more info; it can also be that GH now uses modern `unicode…[truncated] <title>Strip invisible characters from anchors · Issue `#351` · github/cmark-gfm</title> GitHub issue 351 in github/cmark-gfm (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) # Issue: github/cmark-gfm `#351` - Repository: github/cmark-gfm | GitHub&`#39`;s fork of cmark, a CommonMark parsing and rendering library and program in C | 1K stars | C ## Strip invisible characters from anchors - Author: [`@flanakin`](https://github.com/flanakin) - State: open - Reactions: 👍 2 - Created: 2023-10-21T20:41:51Z - Updated: 2023-10-22T20:43:49Z ### Proposal When you create a header markdown header, an anchor is created for you and special characters are removed and spaces are trimmed. This works great... mostly. There are 2 issues: 1. When an emoji is used, there are sometimes invisible characters left behind. 2. When there&`#39`;s a space before or after the emoji, the space isn&`#39`;t getting trimmed. ### Proposal Remove special and invisible characters first, then trim spaces. ### Example ```markdown ## 🙋‍♀️ Ask a question ``` To the naked eye, this looks like `#-ask-a-question`, which is mostly fine barring the extra space. But when you see this in the browser, it&`#39`;s rendered as `#%EF%B8%8F-ask-a-question`. This should render as `#ask-a-question` without the invisible characters or extra space. --- ### Timeline **`@waldyrious`** commented · Oct 22, 2023 at 8:28pm > > Remove special and invisible characters first > > I think replacing such characters with hyphens might be more predictable / less surprising. So `#-ask-a-question` is the result I feel would be most intuitive. (That said, I agree that removing them altogether is an improvement over the current situation.) **`@wooorm`** commented · Oct 22, 2023 at 8:43pm > (I don’t work at GH) > > - they don’t do slugs in this project > - changing this will break existing things, I don’t think it’s likely to happen, also because they almost never change things <title>Use custom unicode regex filter in place of emoji-regex · Pull Request `#25` · Flet/github-slugger</title> GitHub pull request 25 in Flet/github-slugger (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) # Pull Request: Flet/github-slugger `#25` - Repository: Flet/github-slugger | :octocat: Generate a slug just like GitHub does for markdown headings. | 400 stars | JavaScript ## Use custom unicode regex filter in place of emoji-regex - Author: [`@Flet`](https://github.com/Flet) - Association: OWNER - State: closed - Source branch: custom-regex-filter - Target branch: master - Mergeable: dirty - Commits: 1 - Additions: 3309 - Deletions: 8 - Changed files: 6 - Created: 2019-06-26T01:51:16Z - Updated: 2022-10-27T10:33:48Z - Closed: 2021-08-24T14:40:38Z This isn&`#39`;t quite ready, but I wanted to share it in case someone wants to help! :) OK, so `emoji-regex` does not cover a bunch of unicode characters that GitHub actually filters out, including the black heart and lozenge (`#22`) So, digging around, I found `regenerate` which can be used to create a unicode regex string and [unicode-12.1.0](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/unicode-12.1.0) which has all of the unicode character blocks nicely defined. In fact, `emoji-regex` uses `unicode-12.1.0` to build its regex. This PR removes `emoji-regex` as a dependency and instead uses a script to build a custom regex from the unicode blocks incoded in `emoji-regex` plus additional blocks that GitHub filters out when it creates slugs. So, I&`#39`;ve been going through each unicode block (like [this one](https://unicode-table.com/en/#miscellaneous-symbols-and-pictographs) and validating that GitHub filters it by pasting a same of characters into a markdown header in a GitHub Gist [like this](https://gist.github.com/Flet/02a240f8177b35eb88c23c4fb9b9f799). I have a few covered but not all (its a tedious task 😢). I&`#39`;m guessing it will end up being a big range (or a few ranges) that GH filters from their slugs. If anyone has a better idea on how to do this, please feel free to help! :) --- ### Timeline **Dan Flettre** pushed commit `25cdb15`: Use custom unicode regex filter in place of emoji-regex · Jun 26, 2019 at 1:44am **`@wooorm`** commented · Jun 26, 2019 at 7:04am > I maintain a project of GitHub emoji, at https://github.com/wooorm/gemoji.

Update the evaluation link anchor.

GitHub strips the leading 🔬 and converts the following space to -. The heading anchor is #-evaluation, not #evaluation.

Suggested fix
-alone is not a complete inference pipeline. Then refer to [evaluation](`#evaluation`).
