It may be more complicated than that, though. Removing just the <LI>
and </LI> tags doesn't fix the rendering of the > 's. Removing the
whole line, <LI> to </LI> inclusive, fixes it. Removing one or both of
the (unclosed) <FONT ...> tags that precede the <LI>...</LI> doesn't fix
it. Removing the </FONT> tag that follows the <LI>...</LI> fixes it.
So, what's it all mean? I dunno. Two wrongs (unclosed <FONT>'s) make
a right? It's not the List Item, but what's inside it, that counts?
Somebody that actually knows stuff will have to figure that out, and
what lynx ought to do about it.
I should mention that I'm still, lazily, using the 2.7.1ac-0.105
version, in case it matters.
