“IF IT WAS JUST ME AND A TAMBOURINE,
IT WOULD STILL BE THE FALL”
– Mark E. Smith

The HTML spec tells us that id (and name) attributes:

must begin with a letter ([AZ[,]az]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([09]), hyphens (-), underscores (_), colons (:), and periods (.).

I decided to test it out. I duplicated a previous posting and added a paragraph at the very end.

For its identifier, I removed all illegal characters from an entire chapter of my book. That’s 39,209 characters. Yes, it clears the validator.

And you’d probably like to hit a link to that paragraph now, wouldn’t you?
