I've been asking for an option for lynx to treat a seen <br><br> *as if* it were a <p>. but no one seems to understand why I ask for this.
Here's the outout of two *pairs* of files, one pair using <br><br>, and the other pair using <p>. The second of each pair was printed from how Lynx showed them. ------ WHAT DO *YOU* SEE? What *I* see is that with <br><br>, the "paragraphs" are pushed together (no white-space between them), whereas with <p> there *is* whitespace between paragraphs. Myself, I find it *far* easier to read when there's some whitespace between paragraphs. ---- If you see no difference between t2 and t4, please try to figure out what I have to set or unset. If you *do* see a difference, then maybe someone can come up with a patch thata will add an option to Lynx to say "when you see a <br><br>, simply pretend that you instead actually saw a <p>. What say?
