<refsect1><title>Description</title>

<para>If non-zero, the HTML stylesheet will generate ID attributes on
containers. For example, the markup:</para>

<screen><![CDATA[<section id="foo"><title>Some Title</title>
<para>Some para.</para>
</section>]]></screen>

<para>might produce:</para>

<screen><![CDATA[<div class="section" id="foo">
<h2>Some Title</h2>
<p>Some para.</p>
</div>]]></screen>

<para>The alternative is to generate anchors:</para>

<screen><![CDATA[<div class="section">
<h2><a name="foo"></a>Some Title</h2>
<p>Some para.</p>
</div>]]></screen>

<para>Because the <sgmltag class="attribute">name</sgmltag> attribute of
the <sgmltag>a</sgmltag> element and the <sgmltag class="attribute">id</sgmltag>
attribute of other tags are both of type <quote>ID</quote>, producing both
generates invalid documents.</para>

<para>As of version 1.50, you can use this switch to control which type of
identifier is generated. For backwards-compatibility, generating
<sgmltag>a</sgmltag> anchors is preferred.</para>

<para>Note: at present, this switch is incompletely implemented.
Disabling ID attributes will suppress them, but enabling ID attributes
will not suppress the anchors.</para>
