Creating an anchor doesn't seem to work

It looks like the code for a link will only match on a url segment at least one non-space character long. And there doesn't seem to be any shorthand for the name attribute. An id will serve as a target for a link, but I thought there shouldn't be an href in an anchor.

Is this a feature?

For example:

"(#id)sometext": doesn't generate <a id="id">sometext</a> it just leaves "(#id)sometext": in the html.

"(#id) ": #id" produces a link of the form <a href="#id" id="id">/a>

Thanks
