HTML Anchor in XHTML

[arreke]

When I convert my HTML books into EPUB, HTML likns in the books do not work...

for example, if HTML file have the named fragment:
<a name="bottom" id="bottom">the bottom of the page</a>
and link to this:
<a href="#bottom">link to the bottom of the page</a>

how to make it in XHTML to show correctly in EPUB ?

Try using the complete url while referencing, i.e. :

<a href="../Text/thisfilename.xhtml#bottom">link to the bottom of the page</a>

You don't need an <a> element to use the "id" attribute (in XHTML "name" is not allowed), but you can add it to any other element. Like this:

<p>This is a <a href="#bottom">link to the bottom</a> of the page.</p>
...
<p id="bottom">And this is the bottom of the page.</p>

If both "id" and "href" end up in the same file after splitting (if necessary), you don't need the full URL; otherwise, as cuthbert19 says, you'd need to write the relative path from one file to the other.
