% From: galactus@htmlhelp.com (Arnoud "Galactus" Engelfriet) % % First tried to ask on www-talk, but unfortunately no one could offer % an authoritative answer yet there.. % % RFC 1866 defines an HTML comment tag as "<!" followed by 0 or more % comments followed by ">". A comment is defined as "anything but % the '--' sequence, enclosed in '--'". Now, is the following tag % a valid comment? % % <!-- hello---> % % Should a parser accept the first '-' of the three as part of the % contents, or should it barf on the "->" stuff outside the first % comment? A parser should give you an error on the "->" stuff after the first comment. % Galactus % % - -- % E-mail: galactus@htmlhelp.com ....................
