Yeah, that's just a problem with the server side stuff. Newman -
do you happen to know why? Seems like an XML parser thing.

There should not be a <br></br>... the real tag is <br /> which is
both XML and HTML compliant. <pre> is an evil tag if you use CSS,
it should never be used on WineHQ.
This does bring up a good point, <code> displays weird on WineHQ,
compare it to how Zack does it:
http://www.kerneltraffic.org/wine/wn20040312_214.html
I think the problem is for two reasons:
1) There's no CSS definition for BR. There should be and maybe it
should look something like: { margin-bottom: 3px; margin-top: 3px }
Likewise, I tend to use <ul> for doing indenting and it needs to
have less whitespace above and below. Or, maybe <dl> could be
changed and I can abuse that instead.
2) That particular instance has some markup problems, I put in a
couple of extra <br /> tags in a few places. Corollary to Linus'
feelings on backups: Proofreading is for wimps. Real men publish
their writing to a news site and have everyone else spellcheck it.
(Although, you'll notice since Newman set me up with CVS acces I
do tend to do a quick once over after committing it and then fix
obvious mistakes. If you have any scripts that automate this I
should be able to easily automate it into the existing publishing
system I have. XML doesn't lend itself to spellchecking too easily,
so I've never pursued it.)
