Joseph, Yes, Amaya ignores the spaces you mention, but I think it is right in doing so. Quoting the HTML 4.01 specification: In order to avoid problems with SGML line break rules and inconsistencies among extant implementations, authors should not rely on user agents to render white space immediately after a start tag or immediately before an end tag. Thus, authors, and in particular authoring tools, should write: <P>We offer free <A>technical support</A> for subscribers.</P> and not: <P>We offer free<A> technical support </A>for subscribers.</P> Refer to the end of section 9.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#whitespace Vincent.
