DT's and DD's should auto-close each other...The following simple test, when rendered in raptor does the wrong thing because the parser leaves the DD in the DT. <HTML> <HEAD> <STYLE type="text/css"> DT { display: compact; font-weight: bolder; } DD { margin-left: 4em; } </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> An example of the compact style: <DL> <DT>short <DD>Description goes here <DT>too long for the margin <DD>Description goes here </DL> </BODY> </HTML>

This bug was the result of my mininterpreting the HTML spec for these tags. Sorry.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Verified fixed in 12.1.98 build, using XP Viewer on NT 4.0 SP3 & Win98. Specifically, the two <DT> items are presented in boldface on the left-hand side of the page, with the second "Description goes here" <DD> item placed a line below the "too long for the margin" line. (Kipp, if you believe this conclusion is erroneous, please do re-open this bug with your comments at your earliest convenience. Thanks!)
