Subject: LYNX: HELP! Widespread use of <BR><BR> instead of <P> Anytime you see a lynx-displayed article that shows what SEEMS to be paragraphs, but without white space between on "paragraph" and the next, please do a "\", and look for <BR><BR>. You will find them -- LOTS of them. Where placed? Exactly where *you* would put a "<p>". The result of these <BR><BR> things is something resembling this: > This is paragraph one. Note how nice this paragraph > is. Ain't it wonderful! > This is paragraph two. Note how nice this paragraph > is. Ain't it wonderful! > This is paragraph three. Note how nice this paragraph > is. Ain't it wonderful! Of course, what you'd *prefer* to see would be this: > This is paragraph one. Note how nice this paragraph > is. Ain't it wonderful! > > This is paragraph two. Note how nice this paragraph > is. Ain't it wonderful! > > This is paragraph three. Note how nice this paragraph > is. Ain't it wonderful! And indeed that IS what Netscape shows! It apparantely treats a <BR><BR> as a <P>. ---- Of course doing that is "wrong" -- <BR> means "break", and *nothing more* than that. Pragmatically, however, we must realize that these <BR><BR> things (for what should have been "<P>") are UBIQUITOUS. I don't know what html-generating packages do this <BR><BR> thing, but there sure a lot of pages with that out there. Drives me crazy, since trying to *read* something produced that way is very tiring on the eyes, without the white space between paragraphs. --- PROPOSAL: that lynx have an option that tells lynx to, whenever it sees a "<BR><BR>", to pretend it just saw a "<P>" instead. Would sure make easier-to-read the stuff that *I* look at! Thanks! David ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
