Apologies for the immediate self-reply. It seems that the issue is that Lynx
does not support the new HTML5 nesting rules, which allows what were formerly
block-level elements inside of what were formerly inline-level elements, since
HTML5 has now completely separated layout from presentation.
As a workaround I’ll probably end up changing those nested <div>s into <span>s
anyway since it’s more semantically-sound, but this is probably still something
that should be fixed at some point, since the HTML specification has changed in
this regard.
Thanks!
