lynx-dev (<br><br> vs <p>): <br><br> *very* often used instead of <p>!

From: David Combs
Subject: lynx-dev (<br><br> vs <p>): <br><br> *very* often used instead of <p>! A lynx "fix"?
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 16:21:14 -0500
User-agent: Mutt/1.4i 
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?

David


Here's the two file-pairs:



(Oh, these came from the lynx user manual, with the middle cut-away):
