Exactly where would you want more anchors in this page? The
sections ("42.5.6. Doing Nothing At All") already have them.
Re: The sub-categories do not have anchors on this page
They certainly do at the top of the page, that's why I sent the second
email. I was hoping to have anchors down the page where that actual topic
is. The rational for this is, when I write a blog post, teach a class, help
someone on slack... I can give them the URL right to the section I want
them to read. This anchor would prevent just giving the url to the whole
page and telling them to search for it.
I guess I could also just copy the link in the TOC at the top of the page
that points to the header I want.
So not a hig priority request but certainly easier if the anchor is right
there to copy when I am reading the section.
Thanks
Steve

Sorry I forgot to put the reply after the quote. Reply on top is the
default behavior in google and I just forget sometimes.

Ah -- so what you want is to have something like an icon (typically a chain link icon) that appears next to the title, and points to itself? Many sites do that. I think it's a useful idea and we should consider it, but it's a modification that would be done to the tooling and so it'd affect the whole documentation, not just this page.
