Validation error for anchors
I added three anchors within a chapter so that I could create links to them in the NCX TOC. When I check the file in Sigil (F7), no errors arise. However, when I validate the file in Pagina's ePub-Checker (the IDPF's site is down right now), I get an error for each anchor:

"Error while parsing the file 'element "a" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "address", "blockquote"... [and so on]."

The code for the anchor, and its position, is this:

Code:
<a id="Links"></a><p class="Left">FOLLOW LINKS</p>
I tried moving the closing </a> to the end of the line but that did not work.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
