Re: report of strange behavior when bad html code encountered:
With this file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test header in pre tag </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<PRE>
Now let's test this
out. First three short
lines.
<H2>test header</H2>
Now
we
have
some
really
short
lines.
</PRE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
as well as lynx 2.8.2dev15, lynx's behavior is not intuitive. Instead
of either showing the <H2> as literal text (my preference), or ignoring
the tags (my second preference), it appears lynx tries to do formatting.
If I start lynx with -tagsoup things look better. However, I tried just
typing ^V but that didn't seem to cause lynx to switch.
