- I'm new to this list, so forgive me if I hit things already dealt with.
-
- I'm implementing yet another browser (text mode, written in perl).
- It's actually basically done. I have implemented the following tags:
-
- TITLE, A, NEXTID (currently ignored), ISINDEX (ignored), PLAINTEXT,
- PRE, LISTING, XMP, P, H1-H6, HP1-HP6 (ignored), DL, UL, MENU, and DIR.
-
- also, I have done PRE and OL. But along the way I've seen several other
- things in several different places. For instance the following seem to
- be defined in viola:
- COMMENT, XMPA, S, ST, VOBJ, XMPA
- I've also seen references to DOCUMENT, KEYWORDS, DOCTYPE, and perhaps others.
-
- Which brings me to my main question:
- Is there a definitive list somewhere of everything that's been proposed.
-
- Other stuff:
- I'm not sure what the difference is supposed to be between an OL and
- a UL. Should the browser actually sort the list items for a OL?
-
- As far as the <PRE> discussion, I'm not sure I understand what the problem
- is with interpreting new lines. The visual line length won't change for
- having added anchors.
-
- Also, I was under the impression that PRE was like PLAINTEXT, meaning their
- is no ending tag, just end of file. I hope I've misunderstood, if you
- are proposing to replace XMP with PRE. Another problem with this replacement
- is the quoting problem. With XMP, you don't need to worry about whether
- or not your arbitrary text contains something which looks like an HTML
- tag. This is an important feature, and one which should be kept IMHO.
