Links with Special Characters Don't Work

[raphaelsetin]

I have some Markdown README's with headings containing . and even { & }. The links generated from this extension are invalid for such cases. The fix would be to remove these special characters such that a heading like # {MAJOR} gets translated to [some_link](#major), and a heading like ## v2.3.4.2f589e85 gets translated to [some_other_link](#v2342f589e85).

@raphaelsetin: I'm experiencing the same bug.

I've created PR #19 which should fix it.

Awesome @michaelhogg! Let's wait until @wibblemonkey reviews and merges it.

I wasn't really actively maintaining this extension - as you can probably tell from the complete lack of updates for such an extended period! - but if there are folk actively using it I'll make an effort to get it up to date and review any PRs. It may take me a while to get to it - don't hold your breath! - but I will try.
