When loading a document, Amaya parses the source code and builds a DOM tree. Editing is then performed on this tree and a completely new source code is generated from the tree when the document is saved. Formatting of the source code is therefore not preserved by Amaya. The DOCTYPE declaration has nothing to do with this. I was not able to reproduce the bug of the misplaced </p>, but the bug of the new line generated before the '.' is now fixed in the CVS base. Thanks for pointing this out. Vincent. On 1/09/08 23:12, Mike Brown wrote: > Pre-4 for W2K installed. > > Amaya has an annoying habit (to me anyway) of completely reformatting my > HTML layout.
