Yes, that's precisely what I did, but of course, only after inspecting the HTML source.  You do bring up a helpful point I hadn't noticed, in that compressing the spaces out is required.
 
Of course, this isn't something I'd want to have to tell a non-technical user, and disambiguating duplicated headings isn't as unrealistic a problem as it might seem, since several subsections might all be organized on a common template.  Of course, just jumping to the (far-more-likely-to-be-unambiguous) section header might not be too onerous under such circumstances, so it might be okay just to discourage such a practice.
 
Nevertheless, I love JIRA, so here we go...

Hi,

I'd say that right now you can more or less reliably name your internal link like this:

Say you have:

1.1.1 I am a cool subtitle

You can link to it using [Whatever>#HIamacoolsubtitle] (note that there is no space).

As a general rule the anchor name is #HSubtitlewithoutspaces (though I've no idea what happens if 2 anchors have the same name).

This will take you to Spacename/PageName#HIamacoolsubtitle , which hopefully is where you want to be.

I think your issue goes further than this, but this is a start...

Guillaume

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
