[BetterRed]

Yes that would be better, consistency is what I was looking for. Although I find something like the following, irrespective of context, always makes me wonder - is it a coincidence that they're the same token, or is it because they have to be

<item id="somefilename" href="Text/somefilename.html" media-type="application/xhtml+xml"/>

Assuming the id only has to be unique within the document, would it be possible to generate a short random token to use as the id. Many (most ?) Sigil users would not be as intimate with the specs as yourself, DiapDealer, Doitsu etc, so we tend to notice apparent anomalies and coincidences. To which we then attach great significance, inconsequential tho' they may be

All of that said, I almost always use Split at Markers option.

The change is not recent but some older versions did not previously do this according to now multiple reports, so I would like to figure out why this is happening and when it first changed. And see if I can get back the old (pre 0.8.X?) behaviour.

Thanks,
