a heading anchor is now created like this:

<a name="..."/>

this seems to be a problem for CSS styling anchors. The CSS style given to the anchor will be applied to all text from that anchor to the next </a> of the next anchor.

I fixed makeHeadingAnchor method in TranslatorReader to render:

<a name="..."></a>

This fixes the CSS issue.

Here is my trivial patch for TranslatorReader:

diff TranslatorReader.java.orig TranslatorReader.java: 2716c2716 < return "<a name=\""+hd.m_titleAnchor+"\"/>"; --- > return "<a name=\""+hd.m_titleAnchor+"\"></a>";
