Add anchors for the preamble and deprecated id list #154

Closed Jayman2000 closed 1 year ago

Jayman2000 commented 1 year ago

The SPDX License List FAQ tries to draw attention to the information written before the tables on the SPDX License List Web page. The FAQ does this for a reason: “This is based on my observation that many people seem to view the webpage at https://spdx.org/licenses/ - and just look at the list (literally) there, skipping over the other information at the top of the page that explains context, bigger picture, etc.”

At the moment, the FAQ tries to draw attention to those sections in an awkward and slightly incorrect way. This commit gives those sections anchors so that spdx/license-list-XML#1826 can add direct links to them.

Thanks @Jayman2000

@jlovejoy @swinslow Once one of you reviews, I'll merge.

Also - when is the next release of the license list? Would you like me to update publisher before that release?

adding these anchors for a convenient way to link directly to these sections is fine and could prove to be handy, so I'll merge this. I'm still not up for removing links to key sections in the Spec as per #1826, but we'll deal with that issue there and think about some potential better wording for the FAQ, etc.
