    Hi,

    I have found that w3m (11-pre) does a reasonable job of displaying
    lists, although it does sometimes get confused by display lists (<DL>)
    or if paragraphs are used within lists, and may display an extra blank
    line when it shouldn't, or no blank line when it should.

    All browsers seem to have their own little quirks in this area, as the
    various HTML specs don't indicate what the correct behaviour ought to
    be. Try looking at the attached test page through w3m, lynx, netscape,
    ie, etc, and the format will probably be different in each case!

    Alex.
