Hello there!

First off, this isn't really a »problem« with the application.

I've posted this problem on my distro forum and haven't really gotten the
answers to my questions. So here I am, mailing you, hoping I can get an
answer.

Sometimes it's just my luck that things screw up around me, so I'll just
give it here as well. This is the original posting on the forums:

This is the actual problem: putting heading tags *directly* inside the body
element, like so

<body>
  <h1>...</h1>
  <h2>...</h2>
  ...
  <h6>...</h6>
</body>

the rendering in lynx is nice, h1 is centered, and the rest of the headings
are in ascending indents; nice to identify the levels.

The problem crops up is the headings are inside div's, like so

<body>
  <div>
    <h1>...</h1>
    <h2>...</h2>
    ...
    <h6>...</h6>
  </div>
</body>

the rendering has completely lost all that nice formatting that made it
easy to identify the levels.

So, basically I just want to know the reason why this happens (I'm not
treating this as a bug) . Div is for presentational, I understand, and lynx
doesn't support CSS, but I think this is kind of breaking the semantics,
since most of the websites out there use extensive styling.

Nevertheless, you're free to blast me for acting the moron if you see the
need to :D

Thank you for your time.
