thanks for responding! this <a name="{name}"></a> is supposed to create a name
link in the page, e.g., if you have a tag called <name> catId</name>, the HTML
will say <a name="catId"></a>.

The list of tag names at the top is supposed to get turned into page links, so
the same catId tag would show up in the alphabetical list at the top like this:
<a href="#catId">catId</a>

Does this make sense?

thanks again
