(SGML based tools are likely to close the I on seeing the </STRONG> and delete the </I>, but this is undefined error recovery behaviour. Tag soup parsers are likely to treat the </STRONG> as though it were </I></STRONG><I>, although, internally they would maintain two independent flags for bold and italic and not go through the intermediate everything off state. If Amaya were to wish to render them like the popular tag soup browsers, it would need to really transform them into the close, close, open sequence.) <STRONG>Hello, <I>I'm </I>doing fine</STRONG> Nested tags should display according to the style sheet.
