True. But the current (proposed?) patch does not allow the current
correct behavior (collapse two or more br's into one br). I would
like to see a three-way option, possibly in both lynx.cfg and .lynxrc
(a la editor choices, etc) and eventually in an options screen once
form-based options is stable:
COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS: VALID (correct behavior, multiple br's = 1 br)
COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS: MINIMAL (new option behavior, >=2 br's = 1 p)
COLLAPSE_BR_TAGS: HISTORICL (historical Netscape behavior, n br's =
n-1 blank lines)
With the default being subject to debate. I favor VALID, but given
that VALID comment handling isn't the default in Lynx, why should
valid br handling be default? Perhaps default to MINIMAL with a
comment in the lynx.cfg about the differences, and why the default is
not VALID.
