Description

In the last improvement MSHARED-1106 of the AbstractMavenReportRenderer elements were wrapped in anchors.

While this seems to be a good idea, it causes trouble with HTML output since CSS rules then completely change the style of the anchor body. It is then a CSS trickery to differential between anchors and links.

Since anchors itself are deprecated (anchors without href) and the nearest element should have the id, we will pull up the anchor above the target element.
