Description

A number like this:

#0123456789

is rendered as:

#123456789

literally: #0123456789

I would expect the leading zero preserved, like this:

#0123456789

Even though a leading # is a way to automatically link, we have a usage where it is very convenient to be able to paste content with numbers with leading zeros that are prefixed by a # and that will never clash with issue numbers. I don't see a benefit to removing leading zeros, if they are present.

As a workaround, we can prefix the # with !.
