[Docutils-develop] [docutils:bugs] #435 HTML writer generates invalid references with report_level=4

[Günter M. <mi...@us...>]

Thank you for the report.
This is a  bug. It occurs also with the html4css and latex writers.
OTOH, it is not that urgent, as it only happens in documents where there are problems/errors anyway.

I don’t know if you will consider it a bug, but I decided to report it nevertheless.

When input reStructuredText has errors and you silence them with report_level=4, the following HTML will be generated:
```python
>>> from docutils.core import publish_parts
>>> parts = publish_parts('`', settings_overrides={'report_level': 4}, writer_name='html5')
>>> print(parts['html_body'])
<main>
<p><a href="#system-message-1"><span class="problematic" id="problematic-1">`</span></a></p>
</main>
```

The link is pointing to `#system-message-1`, however there is no element with `id="system-message-id"` because the warning itself was not generated.
