[jira] Commented: (FOR-448) Faulty treatment of a-Elements in
html-pipeline
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-448?page=comments#action_12430254 ]
Jim Dixon commented on FOR-448:
-------------------------------
The original problem report contains at least one minor error. There are a number of anchors in the page. The second of these has as text "Anchor 2" but the anchor element is misleadingly labelled with
href = "#anchor1"
The problem reported arises for two reasons. First, the template handling anchors in html-to-document.xsl allows both the name and href attributes whereas they should be alternatives. The correction is to replace two IF elements with a CHOOSE with two WHENs, with the href attribute preferred, so that badly written HTML will be silently corrected (that is, if both name and href attributes are present, the name attribute will be discarded).
Secondly, the template attempts to add an ID attribute, apparently in order to add the named anchor to the table of contents. This is an error (Sablotron rejects the original stylesheet) and anyway appears to be confused: generally speaking, adding named anchors to the TOC will simply confuse it.

> Project: Forrest
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core operations
> Affects Versions: 0.7
> Environment: Windows XP SP2
> Reporter: Ferdinand Soethe
> Attachments: anchorerrortestfiles.zip, html-to-document.xml.diff

> After noticing that anchor elements in html-files got lost in the Forrest default pipeline, I did some test with a sample document (before and after are included) and found that named anchors either get completely lost or messed up pretty bad. Even text within them is sometimes lost.
> The lines refer to original and translated file.
