Confluence: Link to anchor

Here is the Confluence doc for anchors:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/anchors-139442.html

The important bit is this:

Anchor location Link syntax for anchor Examples
Same page #anchor name #bottom
#important information
Page in same space page name#anchor name My page#bottom
My page#important information
Page in different space spacekey:page name#anchor name DOC:My page#bottom
DOC:My page#important information

Choose Advanced and enter the anchor name in the Link field, following the format below.

The anchor name is case sensitive, so you need to use the same pattern of upper and lower case letters as you used when creating the Anchor macro.

You need to enter page and anchor names with spaces when you link to them in the same Confluence site.
