The text of my link destinations <a name="xxx">xxx</a> is being formatted as a link (blue underlined text), and I can't figure out where to change this.
Could someone please tell me how to turn off this formatting?
Thanks,
Bonnie

Re: link destination being formatted as a link
Why wouldn't you want a link to look like a link?
Either way, you can change these styles in the stylesheet in the "a" section (and with its pseudo classes).

Specifically, if you don't want this to happen in PRINT targets, then make sure you change the settings in the PRINT section of your style sheet.
If you need help with specific settings in your style sheet, let us know.

Re: link destination being formatted as a link
I do want the link to look like a link, but not the link destination (the bookmark where the link lands you on the same page).Why wouldn't you want a link to look like a link?
For example, I have terms listed at the top of the page that link to the same terms farther down the page where each term is defined. I want the links at the top (<a href="term A">term A</a>) to look like links, but NOT the term target (<a name="term A">term A</a>) that the link lands on.
It doesn't seem like I can distinguish between the two with the <a> pseudo classes.

Re: link destination being formatted as a link
You just place the target anchor element without highlighting anything.
So your code on the target would be:
<a name="term_A" />term A
Does that make sense? Then nothing is formatted as a link because not content is contained in the <a> element.

Re: link destination being formatted as a link
BTW, the bookmark names shouldn't have spaces in them.
