Section ids using a colon

[jrschumacher]

If you noticed in my pull request I am using some javascript to strip out the colon in the ids and references of the various elements. I needed to do this because the colon is used in CSS and jQuery selectors as Pseudo Class. This might be something that needs to be fixed and standardized in the future.

Would it be possible to simply escape the ID tags in jQuery, and therefore bypass the CSS parsing?

I tried to escape it, but couldn't find a way. What is your thoughts on
using a colon?

I used the MooTools docs as a reference point, and they use the colon quite extensively in ID tags. However, I suppose, if need be, we could always modify the Markdown parser to remove the colon from the ID tag, replacing it with an underscore for example.

Does it matter to me, personally? No, not really, just as long as its rendered the same throughout.

Ok cool, I was just wondering. As of right now the javascript will strip it
out as needed.
