a) &nbsp; <A HREF="attributes.html"  ==>> &nbsp; <A NL HREF=...
        This does not fix it, colors still broken,
        NL not shown.

b) &nbsp; <A HREF="attributes.html"  ==>> &nbsp; NL <A HREF=...
        this is OK, i.e. it fixes broken colors in pretty-src,
        NL actually shown.

Hmm, but then why does NL before '<A' "fix" the broken colors?!
Where comes the line length into play?
