@silhelm I do test with NVDA but there is no substitute for actually asking users.
The anchor links are not primarily there for screen reader nav, as I understand that headings are navigable already. They are mostly there for the purpose of linking to specific sections of document if I or someone else wants to share something, without requiring the person in question to either dig into HTML or guess at the id element.

@inherentlee >there is no substitute for actually asking users. I agree, thus my disclaimer :) As far as I understand from our stuff, the anchor itself shouldn't be visible just like it isn't to seeing eyes, the headers are what's visible. The anchor comes into play when you link to it. And if said links are on the same page, like for instance in a contents list/on this page menu, that'll show up, and for the screen reader will be a duplicate to the header list, this is normal. (Good/bad?🤷)
