Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Weird characters in generated HTML


<a id="foo"/> shouldn't be a problem (my docs are full of them...I do
generate xhtml and stay out of quirks mode, but I don't think that
matters here) unless you do something like a{ color: blue;
text-decoration: underline;} in your css. Then everything after a <a
id="foo"/> until the next time a closing </a> tag is reached will be
blue. Do a[href]{ color: red; text-decoration: underline;} instead.
