Running make check-docs on tor-0.4.6.0-alpha-dev generate some "missing anchor" :

make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '[scrubbed]/tor-master'
make[1]: Leaving directory '[scrubbed]/tor-master'
perl ./scripts/maint/checkOptionDocs.pl
Missing an anchor: ClientTransportPlugin
Missing an anchor: SocksPort
Missing an anchor: NATDPort
Missing an anchor: after
Orphaned in torrc.sample.in: SOCKSPolicy SOCKSPort
[...]

There is 4 missing anchor. They are false positifs. They are only options description text that are in bold and are at the beginning of a line. Here is git diff HEAD to solve those annoying false positives :
