I believe there was a recent security fix here that prevents arbitrary class IDs in HTML, as they can lead to CSS griefing.

As [said in the official topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/deep-linking-to-headings-anchors/47552) your heading `id` must be in the form `<h3 id='heading--link-to-me'>Link to me</h3> `. It always need to start with `heading--`.
