Heading with file path text generate nested <a> tags and result in broken link

[kshinya7]

When a heading contains text that matches a documented file path the cross reference system wraps the text in a link inside the header's own anchor link, producing invalid nested tags.

If i have a structure like these two files:

• lib/pathname.rb:

class Pathname
end

• maintainers.md:

# Maintainers
#### lib/pathname.rb

Then when generating the docs with rdoc --all lib/pathname.rb maintainers.md it generates the html of maintainers_md.html like this:

<h4 id="libpathnamerb">
  <a href="#libpathnamerb"><a href="lib/pathname_rb.html">lib/pathname.rb</a></a>
</h4>

which in the browser the heading ends up with only the inner tag, so clicking it navigates to the file's supposed doc page (which doesn't exist) instead of anchoring.

I think the correct behaviour is for the header to render as a plain anchor without referencing the actual file, because the purpose of a header is to label the section. I also saw this on the maintainers page on ruby docs that had this problem and clicking on a header like lib/pathname.rb goes into a 404.
