LYNX-DEV Lynx' indentation display

[David Smith]

Hi, we've had some display problems here using lynx.

Our company has an internal web, and all the manual
pages for our in-house software (tons of it) is on
the web, and makes extensive use of the <MENU> html
tag. We use Netscape to access the manual pages, and
lynx scripts for quick command-line display from Unix
shells.

The trouble is, Netscape displays the <MENU> indentations 
one way, but lynx displays the indentations another. 

Netscape display:

      MENU 1 heading

          Menu 1a text ..........................
          Menu 1a text ..........................

          Menu 1b text ..........................
          Menu 1b text ..........................

      MENU 2 heading

          Menu 2a text ..........................
          Menu 2a text ..........................

          Menu 2b text ..........................
          Menu 2b text ..........................

Lynx display:

      MENU 1 heading

      MENU 1a text ..........................
          MENU 1a text ..........................

          MENU 1b text ..........................
               MENU 1b text ..........................

          MENU 2 heading 

          MENU 2a text ..........................
              MENU 2a text ..........................
              MENU 2b text ..........................
                  MENU 2b text ..........................


Which doesn't work out too well when there are
lots of nested, indented menus.

Are we just HTML stupid, or should lynx have some
behavioural control over this type of indentation?
