@ The answer is currently NO for html+ as HR is seen as a block like element.

In that case then is there any chance of making it so?

For example compare something like:

A title.

This is an header

Just a bit of text for example purposes...

to:

A title.

This is an header


Just a bit of text for example purposes...

Just from a presentation point of view I think that the 1st one looks a
little cleaner. (No it isnt just a Mosaic-ism *grin* Look at it in Lynx
too)... Infact here is a sample:

This is the 1st one in Lynx which is "suposedly" (No offence meant Lou -
just trying to avoid Mosaic as an example case - no offence NCSA either
*grin*) more HTML/HTML+ compliant:

1.0 INTRODUCTION.
__________________________________________________________________________

In order to create an effective X.500 browser for the World Wide Web

and this is in lynx in the SECOND case:

1.0 INTRODUCTION.


_________________________________________________________________

In order to create an effective X.500 browser for the World Wide Web

Question: Which looks nicer? To me the 1st case.
Question: Which is ``correct''? The 2nd.

Try it in Mosaic. The result is much the same... that extra white space
is just too much to bear.

Im not asking for that much of a redifinition (I think *grin*) all Im
asking is the certain tags (well only HR actually I think) be modified
slightly so they can exist inside the <H1|H2|H3|H4|H5|H6> tags.

Does anyone else support this move? Can anyone see any problems?

Thanks,

Paul
