Relative anchor links in docx conversion

Question

I found this support article outlining how to stop grabzit from converting relative links to absolute links when doing HTML to docx conversion: https://grabz.it/support/article/stop-converting-relative-links/

My document has many relative links that are anchor links to other HTML elements within the page like: <a href="#section-2"> linking to <div id="section-2">.

I updated the document to prepend all 'anchor' links with "grabzitlink://", but in the converted docx result, the links are broken and still have the grabzitlink:// prefix. I was expected that to be stripped out, and the relative internal links to exist in the final docx file. is this possible?

Hi Paul,

We think this is a bug with the bookmarks. We have created a fix and released it. Please remove the "grabzitlink://" from the HTML and try again in about an hour?
