Re: [docbook-apps] Anchors Everywhere

Bob,
It turns out that it was an issue with the Safari developer tools source 
viewer and a stale CSS stylesheet. The source viewer was showing the 
anchors enclosing most paragraphs, but when viewed in a plain text 
editor they were as expected <a id=""></a>.
Cheers,
Eric
