# Breaking: #96501 - prefixLocalAnchors option in HTMLParser removed {#breaking-96501}

See [forge#96501](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/96501)

## Description {#description}

The property `prefixLocalAnchors` in TypoScript's HTMLParser
is removed without substitution.

This is a leftover from times before there was Site Handling
and absolute URLs, related to `config.prefixLocalAnchors` which was
removed in TYPO3 v8.

The option has many side-effects such as relying on the request
when parsing HTML (which behaves differently in TYPO3 Backend
and in Frontend).

## Impact {#impact}

Setting this TypoScript option has no effect anymore.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installation having TypoScript configured with this
option activated.

## Migration {#migration}

None.
