It does make some type of sense though, as it ultimately becomes an Xml, and those tags are a bit different from normal htm tags, guess I will have to learn xml now. lets see, no a href, now item href, hummmm.....
Lets see, that makes PML, Html, and learning how to use python... I guess I learn another one.
I have looked over the file(s) and I do now know what happened. It just seems stupid sometimes that each format of an ebook file needs different anchors. Can't they be more alike so as to be easier on the person who makes the html that they all come from?
Example:
Lit hated the page-break-before if the h1 were Id'ed, and would not break before the chapter heads/titles. It did want to have a cover htm. So separate htm for that ebook. (1 so far)
Mobi/prc had to add to the anchor points to get them to work in its own way. Had the cover separate, and with the ToC separate also, another htm to create that one. (2 so far)
The lrf seems to create extra anchors. Would seperate the Chapter 1 from the Chapter title by a page break (3 so far)
The pdf created its own anchors and then called them bookmarks. The file had to have the cover picture included in the htm also. (4 htm's so far)
The ePub hated the idea of having a size specified for the headings and created it's own links, that didn't work in portable devises but seemed fine on the desktop.
And on and on...
That's a lot of work to create one good ebook in various formats.
