[Lynx-dev] lss and anchor elements

[Ed Hurst]

Using Lynx 2.8.7 compiled on CentOS 5.4 using SRPM from the latest 
Fedora release: Having made some adjustments to the default lynx.lss, I 
find in documents which use self-closing anchors, lynx does not turn off 
the 'a:' attribute color.

To wit: <a id="Name" name="Name" />

The color specified in the lss continues for all characters following 
this anchor within a longer document. The only way I can get Lynx to 
turn it off is with a specific closing:

<a id="Name" name="Name"></a>

However, I don't control most documents on the web, and I run into this 
too often to ignore it. Is there a way to convince Lynx to not apply 
coloring after such anchors? I've browsed the code but I'm not a coder, 
so I really didn't know what to look for.

Apologies if this has already been addressed, as I've not seen it 
covered elsewhere.
