| <para>If non-zero, the HTML stylesheet will generate ID attributes on |
| containers. For example, the markup:</para> |
| |
| <screen><section id="foo"><title>Some Title</title> |
| <para>Some para.</para> |
| </section></screen> |
| |
| <para>might produce:</para> |
| |
| <screen><div class="section" id="foo"> |
| <h2>Some Title</h2> |
| <p>Some para.</p> |
| </div></screen> |
| |
| <para>The alternative is to generate anchors:</para> |
| |
| <screen><div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="foo"></a>Some Title</h2> |
| <p>Some para.</p> |
| </div></screen> |
| |
| <para>Because the <tag class="attribute">name</tag> attribute of |
| the <tag>a</tag> element and the <tag class="attribute">id</tag> |
| attribute of other tags are both of type <quote>ID</quote>, producing both |
| generates invalid documents.</para> |
| |
| <para>As of version 1.50, you can use this switch to control which type of |
| identifier is generated. For backwards-compatibility, generating |
| <tag>a</tag> anchors is preferred.</para> |
| |
| <para>Note: at present, this switch is incompletely implemented. |
| Disabling ID attributes will suppress them, but enabling ID attributes |
| will not suppress the anchors.</para> |
