Question

I want to link to a heading but when I either use square brackets or HTML anchors, I either lose the topic in the TOC or the bracketing is included in the header.

Not completely sure what you are saying, but to link to a heading, you can either use something like this:

Heading 1

Heading 2

HowToLinkToAHeading#Heading_1

Note the underscore conversion. The anchors for long headings will also get truncated. View source on the resulting HTML if you aren't sure what it got converted to.

You can also add a custom anchor just before the heading, such as:

#HeadingOne
---++ Heading 1

See TextFormattingRules on anchor syntax.
