Describe the bug
When you edit a page and want to set links to different heading of that page the "Insert/Edit Link"-functionality of the editor offers you the headings available on the page. These links don't work after saving.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a new page
Add content and heading
Mark a word and press on Insert/Edit Link
Click in the URL text field and choose a heading

5 . Klick ok and save the page
6. After clicking on the link on the page nothing happens. The anchor set for the text doesn't exist

Expected behavior
The link should link to the correct heading.

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): 0.30
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): docker (Linuxserver.io)

Hi @cdrfun,
Thanks for reporting.

This is one of the WYSWYG editor features that I didn't really know existed.
You'll find that this will work for headers that were part of previous page saves, just not fresh ones due to the way we re-assign ids ourselves.

Changes made in 465d405926 will now mean links are updated when the ids are changed which should solve this, Therefore I'm going to close this off.
These changes will be part of the v0.30.2 patch release.
