3.5 NEXTID

NOTE
At present, it is likely that NEXTID will be dropped from the HTML specification, since it is not terribly useful. You are therefore advised against wasting your time reading the rest of this page!

This tag has a single attribute, namely 'the number of the next document-wide numeric identifier to be allocated of the form z123'. The NEXTID tag is designed for use by automatic hypertext editors, and is not intended for use by mere humans. People writing HTML should generally use mnemonic alphabetical identifiers.

3.5.1 Notes for Writers of HTML Editors

Old anchor ids should not be reused when modifying documents, as other documents may contain references that point to them.
