It seems that anchor links in a published topic appear underneath the header, so when you click an anchor link in a published topic, you don’t get to see the actual title.

E.g. the non-published topic shows the `h3` [https://discuss.discourse.group/t/this-is-a-test-published-topic/9#p-10-h-1914-translation-by-h-rackham-2](https://discuss.discourse.group/t/this-is-a-test-published-topic/9#p-10-h-1914-translation-by-h-rackham-2)

But the same # in the published topic [https://discuss.discourse.group/pub/this-is-a-test-published-topic#p-10-h-1914-translation-by-h-rackham-2](https://discuss.discourse.group/pub/this-is-a-test-published-topic#p-10-h-1914-translation-by-h-rackham-2) doesn’t show the `h3`

it’s apparently under the header

I tried to add extra margin to `.published-page-content-body` but it causes other issues.
