This is quite incorrect. It is not illegal to place inline text formatting tags
within <a> tags, and never has been. The following code will pass cleanly
through WebLint and through W3's own validator:
****
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<a href="test.html"><font size="-1">test</font></a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
****
And so will this:
****
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<a href="test.html"><code>test</code></a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
****
Both the above snippets are entirely legal and correct.
