I've got a new question (I think) about html2lrf's capabilities.

I've been trying to convert a book with a great deal of endnotes. In the text where the endnote number is superscripted, I'm making the following tag:

Code:

<a name="g1"></a><a href="#f1">[1]</a>

Theoretically this should define the current spot as "g1" (for "go-back" when I want to return from the endnote page) and take me to the spot I've named as "f1" (footnote number one). On the endnote page, I reverse the process, giving myself a link back to the spot I came from when following the endnote link.

When I run the html through html2lrf, it doesn't seem to be able to pick up on an empty "name" anchor. My browser seems to handle it just fine. Am I doing something wrong or is this just an example where I should wrap the "name" anchor around some text?
