Oh, I believed it kept bold status in addition to whatever else is
supposed to be set due to the fact that the "WHITE break"s didn't
lead to the required execution of PSRCSTOP, generally, independent
of colors (recursive, nested).
 At least for me _everything_ immediately after an offending
attribute is bold, no matter what other src-directives might apply.

Maybe I misunderstood how lynx handles coloring in general and for
prettysrc in particular.

I know what you mean from my glance at it, that's why I haven't
found a "simple" fix to offer.

What would happen if for the given cases the
        "if (WHITE(c)) break;"
were dropped and the checks for ">" extended for "WHITE" as proposed?
Would that break anything (serious ;)?
