This is due to lines like the following:

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" name="new-style-iterators">New-Style Iterators</a></h1>

It would be less confusing if the anchor tag was moved, like this:

<a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" name="new-style-iterators"></a> <h1>New-Style Iterators</h1>

Why would that be less confusing? [TRUNCATE]

In fact, this would be worse. The anchor takes up zero area. This is sort-of acceptable for a link destination, but it's definitely bad for a link source, since it's now (practically) un-clickable! The HTML standard allows anchors to be sources and destinations simultaneously; take advantage of that if needed. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
