About new Lynx showing

It was a bug in the old TRST table support. As your HTML shows, the
sight wants you to see a table with 3 columns. The new lynx
constructs as close approximation as it can.
The only problem is that this site adds a <BR> at the end of each cell
(each cell has 2 rows plus an empty third row). Currently Lynx is not
smart enough to postpone processing of <BR> until some new contents
appears. So Lynx cannot recognize that <BR> is at the end of a cell,
so may be ignored. If it could, it could show this as
dot Base Definitions
dot Commands & Utilities dot System Interfaces
dot System Headers dot Networking Services
dot X/Open Curses
which could match the intent of the site better. [BTW, I think this
site puts <BR> at end-of-cells to support older Lynx! ;-]
I do not think that such a postponed-treatement-of-<BR> is hard to
implement. Will not do it myself, though.
