Description
See test test/langtools/jdk/javadoc/doclet/testAnchorNames/TestAnchorNames.java

When using JavadocTester.checkLinks, it shows that references are not correctly being encoded.

Starting subtest 3.1: Check links
out-html4/pkg1/RegClass.html:538: id not found: out-html4/constant-values.html#pkg1.RegClass.S_$$$$$INT

The constant_values page has the correctly encoded declaration:


<tbody>
<tr class="altColor">
<td class="colFirst"><a name="pkg1.RegClass.S_:D:D:D:D:DINT">
<!--   -->
</a><code>public&nbsp;static&nbsp;final&nbsp;int</code></td>
<th class="colSecond" scope="row"><code><a href="pkg1/RegClass.html#S_:D:D:D:D:DINT">S_$$$$$INT</a></code></th>
<td class="colLast"><code>0</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>

We are now using HTML 5.

Will become a non-issue when we drop support for HTML 4. When we drop support for HTML 4, we'll presumably update this test. At that time, this issue can be closed, if we have not already fixed it.
