[TOC] is nice, but does not solve the problem, since the this can only be done by somebody with write access.
Mostly it is for linking to documentation and other texts that the person (I) did not write him/herself.

This may do instead.

According to this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/mark-up-comments-305037452.html, bitbucket supports the Table of Contents extension which can auto-generate links and anchors based on the document headers.

The TOC extension is documented here: https://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/toc.html

Add the text "[TOC]" to the beginning of the document for it to be generated.
