<h2 id="proposal">Proposal</h2>
<p>This ticket is a proposal about automatically adding clickable anchor links and table of contents links for documentation headings on Drupal.org.</p>
<p><a id="user-story" name="user-story" href="https://www.drupal.org"></a></p>
<h2>User Story</h2>
<p>As non-developers & newcomers to Drupal we need clickable anchor icons in the documentation pages, so that:</p>
<ul>
<li>we can easily and quickly copy a link/url to a specific documentation page section</li>
<li>we have a visual reminder about available clickable anchor icons</li>
</ul>
<p><a id="assumptions" name="assumptions" href="https://www.drupal.org"></a></p>
<p><strong>Assumptions</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Assumes the clickable anchor icons is clear and meaningful to <em>all</em> audience. Not just some audience(s).</li>
</ul>
