Are you using (SGML-syntax) HTML? If you use `id` *instead* of `name`, you won't get the redundancy. Note that for XHTML 1.1 going forward, `name` is completely removed, since `id` already does the job, plus `id` works with all other elements (i.e., you can link to `<span id="foo">...</span>`, etc.). Because of this, instead of the old: <h3><a name="foo"></a>Whatever</h3> most people are now writing: <h3 id="foo">Whatever</h3> Which, BTW, is just as valid in HTML 4.01. The above of course is just an FYI -- it doesn't address the issue of what Tidy does -- or should do -- should you for whatever reason only want to use `name`. /Jelks
