--- Comment #29 from Philippe Verdy <verd...@wanadoo.fr> 2010-12-06 09:58:20 UTC --- Yes I know, but the id duplication is another problem (also for HTML5 conformance and for having autogenerated summaries to link to the appropriate section when we click on them). Yes there's an extra need for making these ID's unique (required in XHTML) by adding some suffixes to duplicate section headings, when they exist in any page, but this is another issue, independant of this one, that should be handled automatically without any additional markup in the edited pages. This duplication is extremely frequent in vote pages (with standardized subsection headings like "Approve" or "Oppose" or "Neutral"). Adding a span tag will not resolve the issue with the standard summaries which completely ignore this markup in the autogenerated anchors. Here we were speaking about invalid characters, and it is clear that a valid ID must not contain any dot (and at least must not start with it), and that converting them using ".XX" hex sequences for each non-ASCII UTF-8-encoded character is also not needed in most cases (an ID can perfectly accept non-ASCII letters without this extra encoding to ASCII on top of UTF-8). Really, the generated IDs should be the same and compatible for direct use in URLs, or in CSS selectors, or for the XML syntax. This is possible, but it will require a better encoding than the bogous current one, plus the general need to make them unique by adding some suffixes for duplicates. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
