Ah, I can explain. The topic you linked has html headings (`<h3>`, `<h4>` and so on) and initially the TOC component had its own logic for adding heading anchors. However, since then, core added automatic anchors and recently I removed the custom anchor login in the theme component. However, core’s anchor feature only works for Markdown headings (using `###`).

So that’s the OP here has anchors, but the [linked guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-using-discourse-themes/91966) doesn’t.

We probably should update that guide to use Markdown instead of HTML @JammyDodger.
