These never cause us any problems, so we don't bother to fix the ids unless the file is a source for a conref or has a subtopic href target. I'm not sure I agree with the rationale, but I understand it. However, the IdCollector does not collect empty hrefs, even though CheckHrefs does try to report an href with a length of 0. Is this intentional? I think it'd be important to identify links with an empty href attribute. -----Original Message----- From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2010 1:07 AM To: Mark Fletcher Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [XXE] CheckHrefs validateHook Mark Fletcher wrote: > Is there some trick to making this hook fire?
