       The error recovery for incorrect HTML is primitive.

       The hxname2id command reads an HTML file and looks for elements with an A element as first child, with no
       intervening text other than whitespace. If that A element has an ID or NAME attribute, it is moved to the
       parent element and removed from the A.

       Because   Netscape  4  doesn't  understand  ID  attributes,  it  was  common  practice  to  write  <H2><A
       NAME="sect7">...</A></H2> instead of <H2 ID="sect7">. This program can be used to convert such  old  HTML
       files to the new convention.

       Other  programs  in this suite, such as hxmultitoc(1), require IDs on headings instead of A elements with
       NAME attributes. So it is useful to run hxname2id  prior  to  running  hxmultitoc  and  similar  program.
       hxname2id can be used in a pipe.

       The following exit values are returned:

       0         Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred in the parsing of the HTML file.  hxname2id will try to correct the error and
                 produce output anyway.
