At least it did not bother me when creating UTF-8 plain text from 1-page HTML :-) (Usually, link tags are not used for that.) > All the examples of anchor targets (<a name="foo">) in the HTML > standard use it to enclose some descriptive text or similar content. > Christoph's example of using a stylesheet to highlight link targets > certainly puts it in the realm of what the WCAG are supposed to > describe.

Anyway, what is requited is: current <link href="ap-pkg-alternatives.html" rel="appendix" title="F Alternative versions of an interface - <code>update-alternatives</code> (from old Packaging Manual)"> to be <link href="ap-pkg-alternatives.html" rel="appendix" title="F Alternative versions of an interface - update-alternatives (from old Packaging Manual)"> This may be a bug which can be quickly fixed. I guess dropping all <...> should be enough. I can even agree this to be minor bug which is annoynig enough. > > I should say the more useful wishlist bug is "debian-policy should use > > DocBook XML for source" :-) > > *nod* Now that the debiandoc side has been nicely filed away, I'm > retitling the bug. Hint to anyone working on this: the debconf spec > is already DocBook XML, so you can steal its rules. By the way, just make DocBook XML is as easy as $ debiandoc2dbk -1 somefile.sgml If you are worried about preserving entity etc., there are some tricks to use. See http://wiki.debian.org/DocbookXmlTransition As I have used this debiandoc2dbk command, I have found few bugs... such as in examples and <copyright> needs to be repeated etc. This bug on debiandoc2html's <link> tag is a nice one to fix together in next upload.
