Another one, probably new (maybe when lynx started adding
ending tags):
I sometimes hand-edit my bookmarks file to put in new links
or extra information, or even to give structure to some
entries making them sub-entries etc.
So now I have:
[…]
<li><a href="…">blabla</a>; details:<ol>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
</ol></li>
<li><a href="…">next entry</a></li>
[…]
Upon saving a new bookmark entry, lynx appends it behind
“three” removing everything else in the file(!). This is
reproducible.
If I use an ul instead, it doesn’t seem to do that, but
sometimes I get…
[…]
<li><a href="…">last entry before adding one from lynx</a></li>
</ul></body></html>
<li><a href="…">newly-added entry</a></li>
</ol></body></html>
… instead, which is also disturbing.
I honestly preferred it when lynx kept the bookmark file
in HTML 3.2-style (without the end tags), even if only
there…
That silent, un-undoable data corruption is severe though.
