I'll be happy to post a JIRA on that, though patching it is not
something I have time or skill to attempt at the moment. I know that a
scrollto method exists that can subtract the height of the heading from
the anchor's Y-coordinate, and I have made it work both in Firefox and
IE, but of course I can put that in the request in case it helps the
patcher.
That leaves still my main question, however: is there a scheme for
reliably composing an intra-document link to an XWiki heading?
I don't consider it a show-stopper, so if you can't reply immediately I
can post another issue. Indeed, it really is a bug/feature request to
a) have the anchors named predictably and/or b) enhance the already
too-cool-for-words link editor popup to list headings (and other
anchors...?) existing on the page and format the link behind the scenes.
I realize this could be done immediately only for the current page, but
hey, that's all Ineed right now...:>

I really like the WYSIWYG editor's "Add/edit link"
feature. One problem, though, is XWiki headings. There are two
problems generally: first, it isn't intuitive how to name the link.
For example, for a level-2 XWiki heading (1.1 in Wiki markup, generates
HTML h3 element of class "heading-1-1") named Styles, the fragment
identifier was "HStyles". Also, a level-1 (h2, class "heading-1")
was
also named by prepending an "H" to the heading text. Is this the way
it's supposed to work, where in the "link" field I have to put
"Hsomething" for a link to a heading called "something", unless
there's
another heading with that same text, which could be added after I
compose that link and then what do I do...?
The other is that following the link causes the page to
scroll to just below the heading text, which is a bit confusing.
I've also noticed that point. The anchor should be done just
before the section, not just after. JIRA and patches are most welcome.
Thanks
