Heading anchors should wrap headings instead of preceding them

      Confluence places anchors to page headings before the heading element rather than wrapping the heading element.

      Current behaviour:

      <h2><a name="anchor-name"></a>A heading</h2>

      Desired behaviour:

      <a name="anchor-name"><h2>A heading</h2></a>

            [CONFSERVER-8028] Heading anchors should wrap headings instead of preceding them

            I'm marking this as "Won't Fix" because the suggested behaviour detailed at EDITLIVE-2 causes problems, mainly:

            1) You can no longer hyperlink text inside the heading
            2) The heading text would be affected by any CSS selecting anchor elements

            We've decided to use an ID instead as detailed at CONF-8032 which sidesteps this problem.

            Just as an aside, it would be nicer if we just did away with anchors and used ids

            e.g.

            <h2 id="anchor-name">A heading</h2>
