I discovered that in html output of lists that have elements of the form =item * foo no <a> anchor is generated for foo; this is different from lists of the form =item foo
The first case generates a <ul> list, and the second a <dl> list.The problem is that in the first form, any link in the file to 'foo' is broken, since there is no anchor for it.
Is this deliberate? Should it be changed?
