Ok, I don't see your errors. I will change it for next version tought. We
will have then 2 version, one for sgml and another for xml. I must confess
that the output for this version is sgml that almost looks like xml (there
are small nuances, they aren't equal).
For xml that will become simply: <anchor .../>
This will solve this once and for all.

try src/tabular.C
The code is there, it should be easy to erase the extra /.

I did.
Most of those problems are configuration options, others are real, I know.

You should write a wrapper file to load the standard stylesheets and from
there make your own customizations.

That is an option from configuration, as I get the inline representation.
For print or html?
