- Ok, change the <FONT SIZE=+1> to <B>, and the </FONT> to </B>. AWeb
- still gets it wrong - I used FONT (with invalid SGML in it as well)
- because the people who like this kind of ugly construct tend to do it
- that way. A more realistic example would be something like
- "<i>this</i>.", which follows typographic conventions. AWeb will
- sometimes put a line break before the period, which looks VERY
- strange.
-
- That AWeb lets tags create a word break when the tag is either
- unrecognized or NOT a tag that creates a line break is a bug in it's
- HTML 2.0 handling. I reported this to Yvon during the beta, and he
- said he would see how painfull it was to fix.
-
- If AWeb changes it's formatting because I replace a space with newline
- outside of a preformatted text area, that's a bug as well.
