...|Does this mean that the following: | | <PRE> | Oranges | Lemons | </PRE> | |...where each line is separated by a linefeed character (i.e., where |the document was created on Unix), and the following: | | <PRE> Oranges Lemons </PRE> | |...should be parsed as being the same thing? | |And therefore, does it mean that any PRE blocks in HTML files that |have lines separated only by linefeed characters (as opposed to |carriage returns (SGML "RE" characters, code point 13)) should be |rendered as a single continuous line? Okay, I admit that I'm no help here. I just wanna say, "Wooaa, that's deep." I thought that <pre> was an element that doesn't get used too frequently, am I wrong? Also, would the answer to this question involve how the OS renders text, or is it entirely dependent upon the web client software? (my curiosity.) Daniel [inanis]
