lemon.html patch for typos and HTML compliance

(1) By Stephan Beal (stephan) on 2020-08-28 12:39:05 [source]

If i may, here's a patch for doc/lemon.html, made against [1a04920998], which...

  • Fixes several typos and one broken intra-doc link to the %destructor section.

  • Replaces <a name=... with <a id=... because the former was deprecated back in (IIRC) HTML4. This does not change their behaviour, only their declarations.

  • Cleans up the P tags so that they don't try to contain illegal content (e.g. UL and PRE blocks are not legal children of P tags).
