more good news! i did some testing, and it appears that my web-app _can_ jump to an internal anchor when displaying an .html file... so jana will get her wish about that, for search functionality. i don't know if this is a recent twist from the compiler boys, or if i had my head up my ass all along, but whatever the case, i'm happy to make my collaborators happy. you can look for that development sometime next week... -bowerbird p.s. wha...? john, html is no "backwater". been under a rock? not heard about html5? xhtml is the entity being abandoned, because in spite of a bunch of attention, it was unworkable... even .epub is trying to catch up. (google for epub liza html5.)

To quote from the HTML5 Wikipedia: It is also an attempt to define a single markup language that can be written in either HTML or XHTML syntax. And there is talk about XHTML5. Given their time over again, W3C would not have blessed the looseness of HTML. That aside, surely it is always good policy to have well-formed documents--even in HTML! We can then use all the XML tools. Regards, John PS: the "google for epub liza html5" tip is certainly interesting. May we continue to live in interesting times.
