The problem likely isn't the regex, it's that anchors
are not allowed to begin with digits or contain spaces.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-name for why
this is so.

Thus:

    ::3rd:some text
    ::my tag:some text

becomes 

    [[#3rd]]<b>3rd:</b> some text
    [[#my tag]]<b>my tag:</b> some text

and PmWiki doesn't recognize [[#3rd]] or [[#my tag]] as a valid anchors.
