Continuing the discussion from [Add a link to a mentioned tag when posting via mail](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-a-link-to-a-mentioned-tag-when-posting-via-mail/54062/2):
Hello, I just tested the tagging feature per mail. Hence, I wrote something like `#tagname::tag` in my mail. My mail client creates hard breaks after 80 signs to not have too long lines. By chance, it happened that a line was starting with tag tag, which made it a headline instead of a tag. The same problem arises when starting a new line with a tag in the online post composer:
#see-this::tag

That’s just the way markdown works.

Yep, not a bug. Easy fix, put a space in front of it, just like you’d do if you want to prevent oneboxing. Also note that it will not offer auto-complete if you start at the front of a line.
No space:
```plaintext
#pr-welcome::tag
```
#pr-welcome
* * *
With space:
```plaintext
#pr-welcome::tag
```
#pr-welcome
