Description

Version 2.0-beta-5 generates named anchors based on the section/subsection names.

It currently uses the text as-is, leading to anchors like <a name="Logo Contest"> which must be linked to with #Logo%20Contest.

Maven 1 used to replace spaces with underscores, producing much nicer anchor names: <a name="Logo_Contest">, and #Logo_Contest.

In addition, see MSITE-167, requesting the addition of an href attribute so that the anchor name can be specified in the xdoc:
<subsection name="Logo Contest" href="logo"> ----> <a name="logo"> ---> #logo

I just did a validation [1] on a Maven generated page [2] that has these anchors in it. It turns out that this is not valid xhtml.

Added HtmlTools#encodeId() in Doxia core
The id returned respects the W3C recommendation.

The fix-for version on this is incorrect. 2.0-beta-5 is the released version which generates anchors containing spaces.

Can you please publish a new snapshot of Doxia? The last one was 7/23, before this fix.

I built Doxia and the site plugin from source and can see the new anchors generated as:
<a name="logo_contest"></a><div class="section"><h3>Logo Contest</h3>

Thanks!
