I got several replies saying i rewrite my html -- however
the html I was referring to was not mine....

In any case, my point is that since lynx is the only
browser with a "links are numbered" option, who's to say what the
behavior should be for a break at the start of a link?  Since one of
the main purposes of numbered links is to aid blind users using
screen readers, I think the link number should appear immediately
before the first highlighted text, not on the previous line.

Also note that when the <br> is changed to a <p>
the link number is 2 lines before highlighted text.
In my mind, this is clearly wrong.
