I then fetched the page and did a weblint against it. I found one problem.
At the end of 570+ lines of HTML <FORM>, there was a </OL> that didn't
match up with an <OL>. lynx -trace said:
SGML: End </OL>
SGML: Found </OL> when expecting </FORM>. </FORM> assumed.
I am not reporting this as a lynx error - I mean, I know the
parse engine can only do so much. But I did want to mention it as
a heads for for the folk answering email that it may be a bit tough
for someone trying to read the trace output to pinpoint certain types
of problems.
Good thought.
1. This reads a lot like a diagnosis that Dan Strychalski posted
on lynx-learners. This failure mode may be quite common.
2. Sure sounds like string-searching for "assume" in trace files
could be a good way to find failure mechanisms quickly.
