Anyone having looked into this?
If it's too difficult to change for some reason that's ok, but if it's
just a minor change in the script it would be really nice if that could be
fixed.

I don't know why this would cause a problem, a missing </p> can always be
inferred and AFAIK this is exactly what browsers do (even old ones).
Nevertheless, I have gone through the windows docs and added any missing ones
(and added opening ones at the start of each section).

So perhaps You also missed my post about lost page of documentation ?
It is still valid for RC6 on win platform.

I suppose it's a combination of different effects, it's mainly the
indention what's going wrong, without style sheets everything is fine.
Netscape 4 has some really ugly ways of interpreting things, i guess there
are similar problems with IE3.

Thanks.
Have you also changed the anchors ('<a name="target_4"></a>' instead of
only '<a name="target_4">') these are more important since they occur
throughout the docs.

No, I saw that, but it's not correct to call it 'lost', and neither is
it correct to say the page has no closed body. It is linked into from
the start page (and has always been), and it is properly closed HTML
insofar as I can tell.
The lack of forward and back links and section numbers is intentional.

This causes problems as well ?
I've been using browsers since Mosaic v1.0 and have never noticed an issue
with the lack of a '</a>' for a local target ...

My fault. I didn't rechecked all previous notes but only partially. Currently
there is </body> but I'm pretty sure there wasn't (or there could be a bug in
view source feature in IE).
> It is linked into from

Right, I missed this but the reason why I noticed it as 'lost' is becouse
there is no 'next' 'prev' links and no chapter numbering.

what about

I recommend that you use a tool such as HTML Tidy to check if there
are some errors in the HTML pages. This is a very small tool that can
be used to quickly check the syntax of the pages. Some parts of it
have been included into several HTML editors, but I use it mostly as a
standalone program (use it like this: "tidy -e somepage.html" to show
only the errors).
You can get the latest version of HTML Tidy for several platforms from:
http://tidy.sourceforge.net/
You can also find a link to it from the home page of the World Wide Web
Consortium: http://www.w3.org/

As said it seems to be related to incorrect interpretation of the
indention (<div> and 'margin-left') I was astonished about this myself,
but if such a small change helps fixing most problems with two older
browsers...

according to our revision control system, that file hasn't been changed since
August last year.

I will add the rest of the color definitions to the body tag.
