I thought the HTML5 principle is that every browser should produce the same output regardless of whether the document was syntactically valid, and that is why they define error cases in such detail. I think there is also a principle that pre-HTML5 invalid pages should produce results similar to those on mainstream pre-HTML5 browsers. Seems I misstated it. I meant that in former interpretations of HTML, ere 5, in case of such error the webbrowser s behavior is not defined.

Furthermore, I looked for limitless nesting, as the deprecated is allowed within , to the webbrowser s limits, and found that such limitless nesting is not and never shall be part of HTML, right after claims that the element structure allows that--but only in style! Sounds as if one has to use something like MSoft Word to generate it, because Word well fakes nesting by means of indenting.

Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx un-renders
2018/05/28 04:57 ...

I suppose the following is legalistic If "latin1 is exactly the first 256 codepoints of Unicode" then cp1252 is not a superset of Latin1: instead, instead of C1 characters cp1252 has a jumble of graphics. If Latin1 is, say, ASCII with 96 more graphics, with a gap for C1, then indeed cp1252 is a superset of Latin1, but then it is not the first 256 codepoints of Unicode.
