Re: Deriving unique href target?

Please post some sample markup and the stylesheet you're using right
now.

I've found that most of the time where I want a link in the HTML,
there's already ID/IDREF in the SGML, and so I use that.  I wrote a
function that uses the ID, if there is one, and generates one based on
all-element-number if not:

(define (gen-id snl)
  (let ((this-id (attribute-string (norm "id")
                                   snl)))
    (if this-id
        this-id
        (string-append "AUTOID-"
                       (number->string (all-element-number snl))))))
