On my site, I have a [lengthy FAQ topic](https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467) with a table of contents at the top and section headings linked to using `` style anchors. Once on the topic, it works quite well to click around and find answers.
However, when I link to a section directly, it doesn’t work properly. The linked to section is hidden behind the header menu.
To replicate:
- go to [https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467](https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467) and click on “guided tour” link on the menu. You will be taken directly to the guided tour section. Section heading and first few lines are visible.
- go directly to [https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467#tour](https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467#tour) link. You will will be taken directly there but the section heading and first few lines are hidden behind the heading.

It is the same thing I reported at the end of this post [https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-anchors-should-be-added/16455/33?u=trash](https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-anchors-should-be-added/16455/33)
For example:
``
``
`
`
`---`
``
`##[AduTips](#tips)`
It works, as long as you are using with the header (obviously you can not use in a list):
