Is there a simple way to configure pmWiki such that all headings (H1,

link directly to a section or subsection? (I believe MediaWiki has
this functionality by default.)
Now officially a requested feature. Vote / comment here:

I left some questions on the PITS page, but essentially:
* What if the heading contains other markups, such as links
or wikistyles? Do we have to be smart enough to strip those
somehow before producing the heading anchor?
* If a heading already has an anchor in it, should PmWiki
still generate yet another anchor for the heading?
* Do we convert all punctuation that appears in the heading,
or just parens?
I tried finding the recipe 'visible anchors' that I thought I'd uploaded
to the cookbook a long time ago (pmwiki v1), but maybe it got incorporated
into John's PageToC.
I don't think it's a great idea to use the heading text to generate the
label. My recommendation is to enumerate them instead. If we worry that an
enumerated heading becomes incorrect if a heading is inserted before it,
remember that a similar thing happens if you change the heading text.
