Hi @or0or1,
We're going to need some more information to be able to support this issue.

What are you exporting? (Book, Chapter, Page)
When are you referring to as BookMarks?
Where are you using mulitple # characters?
What editor are you using? (Markdown or WYSIWYG)

No, No plan at the moment @or0or1 but your follow up comment did help me understand what you meant by BookMarks. I had a quick search before but didn't find anything about how our PDF libraries within BookStack could generate bookmarks so didn't look like a quick issue to solve.

Just done some further looking into PDF generation as part of issue #2052.

Such links would be generated as an "Outline" or "Table of Contents" rather than bookmarks. As mentioned on #2052 it is possible to generate a ToC but with some workarounds due to issues in the libraries we use.

I'm going to close this in favour of #2052, since they're essentially requesting the same functionality.
