Package: debian-policy Version: 3.8.0.1 Severity: minor When you view the HTML version of the Debian Policy with a browser like Lynx or SeaMonkey/IceApe (which interpret <link> elements in the header), you'll notice some unfiltered tags like:
| 4.4 Debian changelog: <code>debian/changelog</code> or | 7.2 Binary Dependencies - <samp>Depends</samp> Apparently, <code> and <samp> etc. should be filtered out in the title text of the link elements. Another tight related issue are the anchors that serve as destination for those link elements. Currently, they are declared like this: | <h2><a name="s-binarydeps"></a>7.2 Binary Dependencies - | <samp>Depends</samp>, <samp>Recommends</samp>, <samp>Suggests</samp>, | <samp>Enhances</samp>, <samp>Pre-Depends</samp></h2> There is no link text. A better solution would be: | <h2><a name="s-binarydeps">7.2 Binary Dependencies - | <samp>Depends</samp>, <samp>Recommends</samp>, <samp>Suggests</samp>, | <samp>Enhances</samp>, <samp>Pre-Depends</samp></a></h2> This will meet the recommendations of the WCAG for links. (<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#navigation-mechanisms>) Main purpose: I like to use CSS to highlight anchor targets. This is useful when you want to link to some sub-heading in your documentation et al. It looks like this: | h1[id]:hover:after, | h2[id]:hover:after, | h3[id]:hover:after, | h4[id]:hover:after { | content:" #"attr(id); | font-size: smaller; | } | a[name]:hover:after { | content:" #"attr(name); | font-size: smaller; | } When you hover over an heading h1 .. h4 or anchor, the browser will show the id or name at the end of the line. Empty anchors sabotage this, as they take no space and cannot be hovered. Changing the anchors or switching to headings with ids should fix that problem, too. Regards, Christoph P.S.: Version 3.9.1.0 seems to have the same issues. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.8 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash debian-policy depends on no packages. debian-policy recommends no packages.
