RE: SPAN CLASS ID, ID stripped

Hi Petr,
What Jacob says is correct...  However you may be unintentionally removing
it (that is XMLC may be).

The OutputOptions class has a method setDropHtmlSpanIds(boolean).  If this
is set to true then they will be stripped.

Note if you are using the HTMLFormatter.toDocument(HTMLDocument) method or
use HTMLFormatter.getDefaultOutputOptions() span id stripping is set on by
default.

The comment says it was put in to work around an issue with IE 4, which
shouldn't be relevent to much of anyone these days.

Regards,
Steve Mayhew
