Re: Enh. Req: Option to have Table of Contents Tool Create Numeric Id's

Hi,

The generation of id attributes is a general mechanism that works also
when you create a single target anchor. Initially Amaya generated a
label that as not relation with the contents of the element like
Mozilla. We changed to generate more intelligent ids because in many
cases an intelligent id is more useful. An id like "mozTocId260519" is
always confusing so you never try to interpret it.

When the element has an id, it must'nt be changed.
