Bug#287309: tetex-bin: example using html \special is a bit off



Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-23
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/info/dvips.info.gz

In the info node, this snippet

  `name'
       Defines URL targets in your TeX documents, so links can be
       resolved. For example:
	    \special{html:<a name="#paradise">}Paradise\special{html:</a>}
	    is exactly where you are right now.
       This will resolve an `href="paradise"'.

is slightly incorrect.  It should be:

  `name'
       Defines URL targets in your TeX documents, so links can be
       resolved. For example:
	    \special{html:<a name="paradise">}Paradise\special{html:</a>}
	    is exactly where you are right now.
       This will resolve an `href="#paradise"'.

i.e. the '#' character should go with the 'href' rather than with the
'name'.  As a check, one of the hypertex examples at arxiv.org,
<http://arxiv.org/hep-th/9304011/>, has these strings in its DVI file:

html:<A href="#reference.172">
html:<A name="reference.172">
