Automatically generate IDs for code examples

[hagenburger]

New feature

Code examples should get an automatically generated HTML ID if not defined by the user.

Specification

``` html #my-id
<p>Lorem ipsum</p>
```

Already gets the ID my-id when the ID plugin is used:

<div class="pimd-example" id="my-id">
...

When no ID is defined:

``` html
<p>Lorem ipsum</p>
```

It should get an automatically generated ID:

<div class="pimd-example" id="example-f2d69d">
...

Open questions

• How to generate the ID? Maybe generate a hash of the contents
• How long should the ID be? Maybe 6 hex characters should be enough

I agree, would be nice to get this working!

• How long should the ID be? Maybe 6 hex characters should be enough

as inspiration i would start looking into the code of css-modules as they do similar things with their classes.
along these lines?
