Section headings in documentation

Created by: RichCaloggero

Section headings in documentation

I'm seeing the following pattern used throughout these doc pages for section titles:

<h2 id="important-globals">
<a class="anchorjs-link " href="#important-globals" aria-label="Anchor link for: important globals" data-anchorjs-icon="?"
 style="font-family: anchorjs-icons; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-variant: normal; position: absolute; margin-left: -1em; padding-right: 0.5em;">
</a>Important globals
</h2>

Screen reader users see the text "Important globals" repeated twice (i.e. via the aria-label); sighted users do not see the contents of aria-label. Worse, we get even more noise from the extraneous "Anchor link for: " in the aria-label. The effect is that each section title looks something like this:

Anchor link for: important globals Important globals

P{lease remove the aria-label from all of these section headings; it is not needed, and severely degrades readability for all screen reader users!

Thank you.
