[thelist] N6 and Percents

[Kyle Smeby]

I hope you're right as it would save me a lot of time, but...

With the working file I have just brought into BBEdit and formatted for
editing, I have tried running all the rest of the options when saving it out
and I always get display errors in Netscape.

The Formatting types available to me are:  Hierarchicial, Gentle
Hierarchicial, Plain, Compact, Gental Compact, Document Skeleton, and Don't
Reorganize.

Some of them get rid of all the unnecessary spaces but leave hard returns
after and before, opening and closing TD tags thus making an unwanted space.
Others (the ones that compact the code the most) get rid of all the hard
returns, but put a single space (see Breaking News below) in place of all
the tabs it eliminated in doing so, again giving me another unwanted space.

I really hope I'm wrong and there is something I'm just missing.

As I was writing this and experimenting in BBEdit at the same time I seem to
have narrowed the problem down to </A> tags.  BBEdit 6.01's formatting adds
spaces before </A> tags.  Meanwhile Netscape hates these spaces and puts
little gaps after all of my graphics that link to something.
