using the file:
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
This is line 1<BR>
This is line 2<BR><BR>
This is line 3<BR><BR><BR>
This is line 4
</BODY></HTML>
with COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS:FALSE the patched version gives:
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
This is line 4
with COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS:TRUE the patched version gives:
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
This is line 4
this implements my recommendation -- thanx David:
i had found the place in HTML.c , but didn't know what to do next -- ,
ie to recognise <BR><BR> as if it were <P>
-- following widespread practice out there on the WWW -- ,
but to collapse any additional <BR>'s as potentially causing problems,
provided COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS:TRUE .
this helps people who can't change lynx.cfg or don't know about it,
but doesn't allow collapsing <BR><BR> ,
which i have argued is NOT in fact required by the HTML 4.0 specs,
which are not properly thought out or clearly enough expressed.
