Re: PROV-ISSUE-345 (delineate-constraints): style hinders readability: constraints not separated clearly enough [prov-dm-constraints]

Hi,

I tried to address the anchor/linking issue at one point.  The problem is that the CSS for constraint boxes defines the anchor target, thus links to the constrant go there, below any preceding text.  One (hacky) way to solve this is to put the same id on the paragraph where we want the link to land, and hope that the browser goes to the first matching id.  But this is evil because then the ids are not unique within the document.

Given time constraints, I elected to leave it broken and solicit better ideas for how to make links to constraint ids go to the right place.  One possibility is to set it up so that constraint boxes do not generate an id, but instead leave it up to the editor (i.e. me) to write the id in the appropriate place.

Any other ideas?
