Description Ed McKenzie 2001-06-28 12:30:59 UTC 
links doesn't deal well with html tags when the begin and /end tags 
have different case.  To wit,

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ml.html

looks alot different in links than in lynx.  Reading the page source 
shows that the <B> tags are ended with </b> tags ...
Comment 1 Brian Brock 2003-10-13 20:56:56 UTC 
I currently see broken html like this:

<pre>

<a href="mail_archive/200007/threads.html"<B>
               July 2000
               </b></a>

</pre>

The only error I currently see is due to non-standard html, not links misparsing
valid html.  Without the a href tag, the text is properly bold'ed.

Also checked behavior with elinks and lynx.
