4. Updates from last week's dev-squad triage session

This week the dev-squad triaged 2 new PRs and one new bug:

• Added IDs to headings for anchor links #1880
• Tutorial: Using page templates  #1900
• Khmer Language causes overlay on Lesson Plan listings, hiding selection boxes (Firefox only) #1888

There was some discussion around #1880, which we would like to bring to the team.

Generally, when implementing internal anchor link fragments (where an HTML anchor tag links to the id attribute of another element on the same page instead of an external URL) the fragment uses lowercase, not sentence case. While this does not seem to be a requirement according to the HTML spec, it's not something commonly used, as most developers will use lowercase when defining id attributes of HTML elements.

However, the Tip box in the lesson plan saved pattern defines the links as sentence-case, but there are also some instances where it might be all lowercase. So while we're not sure that the case ultimately matters, we do think it should be formalized, documented, and then used accordingly across the site.

So this leaves us with a question, and a follow-up problem:

1. Should we stick to sentence case, or switch to all lowercase.
2. Whatever we decide, once implemented, we'll need to review both the lesson plan saved pattern, and any existing lesson plans, to ensure the links work as expected.

Therefore we'd like to bring this to the training team to discuss, decide on, and implement a plan to get the relevant parts updated.
