Hi, I'm trying to find out the correct interpretation of RE (newline) and white space in html documents. According to the html spec you are supposed to ignore the first and the last RE within the content of an element. If that is true, what is the correct interpretation of RE iside a PRE content? For example: <pre> This is <b> bold </b> text. </pre> Should this be interpreted as: <pre> This is <b>bold</b> text. </pre> If so, why are all the browsers doing it wrong? I'm trying to implement an HTML3 compliant parser. Could someone point me to more information on the interpretation of white space in html documents?
