Bug Description
Calibre 1.44 32-bit on windows 8.1 x64.
If I try to convert a kf8 mobi with an embedded anchor, e.g.:
<a href="#
and the anchor is defined like:
<a NAME="chapter1"/> (where NAME is uppercase),
the link fails to convert when converting the book. It just goes to the beginning of the first file.
Attached is an example mobi I created that will reproduce this bug.
Converting it to epub (with ebook-convert test.mobi .epub) will retarget the links to part0000_

Checking every single attribute in every single file when converting for
non-lowercase attribute names is a prohibitive performance penalty. If
you insist on using HTML with uppercase attributes as you source, then
make sure that the html tag is also uppercase (i.e. use <HTML>), in
which case the conversion will work, otherwise it will not.
And looking at your sample, you appear to be generating your file via
OpenOffice's HTML export. Dont do that, OpenOffice's HTML export is
horrible. Save the file as docx (preferably) or odt and convert that.
