I'm not sure that <span> is allowed within <pre> elements. So the behavior
when this occurs may not be well defined. I don't know whether a stylesheet is
associated with this page (I didn't go and examine it), nor the effect of your
browser's default stylesheet when one is notloaded by the HTML.

Hi,
This is HTML 4.01 transitional. What I think should happen is not. I think that
JAWS is not allowing line breaks when it sees span within pre elements. In
order to attempt to verify that the problem is with JAWS, I want to make sure
that span is allowed within the pre element. The page in question is at

It might not make a difference in the case of the <pre> element, but is this a
strict or transitional DTD?

Hi,
I want to check the DTD for HTML 4.01 to see which elements are legal inside
the pre element. Does anyone know of a short explanation of the syntax for
Document Type Definition files?
