+
+<para>If non-zero, the HTML stylesheet will generate ID attributes on
+containers. For example, the markup:</para>
+
+<screen><section id="foo"><title>Some Title</title>
+<para>Some para.</para>
+</section></screen>
+
+<para>might produce:</para>
+
+<screen><div class="section" id="foo">
+<h2>Some Title</h2>
+<p>Some para.</p>
+</div></screen>
+
+<para>The alternative is to generate anchors:</para>
+
+<screen><div class="section">
+<h2><a name="foo"></a>Some Title</h2>
+<p>Some para.</p>
+</div></screen>
+
+<para>Because the <tag class="attribute">name</tag> attribute of
+the <tag>a</tag> element and the <tag class="attribute">id</tag>
+attribute of other tags are both of type <quote>ID</quote>, producing both
+generates invalid documents.</para>
+
+<para>As of version 1.50, you can use this switch to control which type of
+identifier is generated. For backwards-compatibility, generating
+<tag>a</tag> anchors is preferred.</para>
+
+<para>Note: at present, this switch is incompletely implemented.
+Disabling ID attributes will suppress them, but enabling ID attributes
+will not suppress the anchors.</para>
