Yes. <a name="..."> must be followed by a </a> in most cases. I
corrected this with a Perl one-liner:
perl -pi~ -e 's:<a *name[^>]*>:$& </a>:g' *.htm
There are other problems once this is fixed, assuming HTML 3.2:
/usr/bin/nsgmls:povray.htm:9:16:E: document type does not allow element "H1"
here
/usr/bin/nsgmls:povray.htm:17:6:E: end tag for element "HEAD" which is not open
/usr/bin/nsgmls:povray.htm:18:64:E: document type does not allow element "BODY"
here
/usr/bin/nsgmls:povray.htm:529:3:E: document type does not allow element "HR"
here
/usr/bin/nsgmls:povray.htm:530:7:E: document type does not allow element
"CENTER" here
(Could we have a policy that HTML docs must be HTML 3.2 or have a
DOCTYPE and match that?)
Unfortunately the current version of Lynx seems to remove spaces from
references like <a href="pov30000.htm#section 2.1">
^
I'm not sure whether this is permitted or not, but I don't think there
_should_ be a space anywhere in a URL. This can be fixed with a bit
more Perl removing all the spaces from all the URLs:
perl -pi~ -e 's:(<a +\w+=")([^"]*)("):($a=$2)=~tr/ //d,"$1$a$3":eg' *.htm
I haven't tested it extensively though.
Go ahead and submit a bug report or "feature request" against both
Lynx and POVRay. Ask me to explain that Perl later.
