Hello, Currently <span id="id"></span> is used for anchors, whether they originate from @anchor, in some cases from @node and sectionning @-commands, @*index, ... It is syntactically correct, but I think that it would be semantically better to use <a> and keep <span> for inline text that needs some kind of formatting information. Also I propose to add class to the anchors to distinguish their source. Any opposition/idea?
I don't think using <a> for anchors is a good idea. The WHATHG spec says: "If the a element has no href attribute, then the element represents a placeholder for where a link might otherwise have been placed, if it had been relevant, consisting of just the element's contents." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a does not suggest or give any examples of using <a> without an href attribute. -- --Per Bothner [email protected] http://per.bothner.com/
