Re: [docbook-apps] Footnote number no longer an active link

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Tim,
The original problem was a <a name> element contained in the <sup> inside the footnote 
link <a href>. When the browser thinks it is processing HTML, it does not respect that 
containment and misinterprets the href anchor as broken.  When the browser thinks it 
is XHTML, it allows it.   The nested anchor problem exists in both HTML and XHTML 
transforms, but the browser is ok with it when it is processing XHTML.  I fixed it in 
SVN by moving the named anchor to outside the href anchor.
