fix(utils): preserve trailing hash in ATX heading titles - #12939
If this is a code change: I have written unit tests and/or added dogfooding pages to fully verify the new behavior.
If this is a new API or substantial change: the PR has an accompanying issue (closes #0000) and the maintainers have approved on my working plan.
Motivation
When extracting markdown titles in parseMarkdownContentTitle(), the regex \s*(?:\{#*[\w-]+\}|#+)$ used optional whitespace (\s*), which greedily matched trailing # characters in titles without preceding whitespace. This caused titles like # Learn C# to have their trailing hash stripped, resulting in "Learn C" for page titles, sidebar labels, and metadata.
Per the CommonMark specification §4.2, closing # sequences are only valid when preceded by at least one space or tab. This PR updates the regex to (?:\s*\{#*[\w-]+\}|\s+#+)$, ensuring that trailing hashes in words (e.g. C#, F#) are preserved while closing ATX # sequences (# Learn C# #) and custom heading IDs (# Learn C# {#learn-csharp}) continue to be stripped as expected.
Test Plan
Added regression test cases in packages/docusaurus-utils/src/__tests__/markdownUtils.test.ts:
parses markdown h1 title preserving trailing hash in word (e.g. C#)
parses markdown h1 title preserving trailing hash in word with closing #
parses markdown h1 title preserving trailing hash in word with anchor id
Ran all 411 tests in packages/docusaurus-utils (pnpm vitest run packages/docusaurus-utils) with 100% pass rate.
Verified TypeScript typechecks with tsc and formatted with oxfmt.
Markdown heading titles now preserve hash characters attached directly to the title text, such as the # in “C#”.
Closing hash markers separated from the title by whitespace continue to be excluded from the displayed title, including when a custom anchor ID is present.
Headings containing only closing hash markers now produce an empty title.

parseMarkdownContentTitle now preserves hashes attached to heading text. Regression tests cover closing hashes, custom heading IDs, and a heading containing only closing hashes.

Summary
Heading title cleanup and regression tests packages/docusaurus-utils/src/markdownUtils.ts, packages/docusaurus-utils/src/__tests__/markdownUtils.test.ts
The title cleanup regex now requires whitespace before trailing heading hashes. Tests cover C# with and without a closing marker or anchor ID, plus a heading containing only closing hashes.
meta/docusaurus#12843: Changes trailing-hash handling and tests custom IDs, closing markers, and hash-only headings.
Suggested labels:pr: bug fix
Merge Risk: Low · up to 1ec58
A heading containing a non-breaking space before a literal hash can still produce an incorrect title. The remaining impact is limited.

Issue #12644 requires # Learn C# to produce the title Learn C#. The whole-PR diff changes parseMarkdownContentTitle() so it strips closing hashes only after whitespace, and it adds tests for C# with no closing marker, with a closing #, and with an anchor ID. A fourth test covers a heading containing only closing hashes.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Limit closing-marker whitespace to spaces and tabs.
For # Learn #, with a non-breaking space before #, \s+ removes the hash and returns Learn. CommonMark treats the hash as heading text because the preceding character is neither a space nor a tab. (spec.commonmark.org) Use [ \t]+ for the closing-marker branch.

- Line 337: Update the heading-title normalization around the trailing-hash
replacement so an all-hash title, such as the title parsed from “# ###”, is
treated as empty rather than retained as hashes. Preserve the existing handling
of closing hashes and explicit heading IDs for non-empty titles.
