> > This is a bug, and is fixed in CVS. The '--->' didn't end a comment unless it > has exactly one less than a multiple of three dashes (2, 5, 8, etc). The comment should end with "--", if there is "----", the second "--" starts a new comment.., thus for example, all of the following is comment <! -- some text ----> comment just continues -- > A totally different thing is that in the "real world" browser writers and html authors never really cared what the real comment syntax was, and doing comment parsing right (as defined by SGML) probably breaks many pages. -- Markku Savela (msa@hemuli.tte.vtt.fi), Technical Research Centre of Finland Multimedia Systems, P.O.Box 1203,FIN-02044 VTT,http://www.vtt.fi/tte/staff/msa/
