Which is consdered correct practice?

crutledge · 01-15-2011, 06:40 AM

Code:

<a id="CH_1"></a>
<h2>CHAPTER 1.</h2>

or

Code:

<h2 id="CH_1">CHAPTER 1.</h2>

The reason I'm asking this is that I normally use the second format. On loading a file to Sigil, with TIDY on full, each

Code:

<h2 id="CH_#">

was changed to

Code:

<h2 id="00002">

Problem with TIDY or should I revert to the first format?

The second is correct, the first is wrong, unless everything is wrapped in a <div>.

If I remember correctly, fragment names cannot start with a digit, so the second would be wrong.

No, Sigil only adds ID's to headings that don't have them. And AFAIR it doesn't start the ID name with a digit.

Sigil will replicate the ID (and fail at Flightcrew check) if you place the insert point at the beginning (BV) of a heading and hit return to insert blank lines
