Was just browsing the collection, I found that all the 'More Detail' links on
the various submissions don't get rendered by my browser. All I get is the .html
source code in plaintext.
Is my browser broken, or does anybody else see this?

It has been that way for a long, long time, my friend.

You have to make a local copy and then manually edit it so it displays right.

Oh well, as long as it's a known issue. No worries!

Hello,
In Firefox (86.0 (64 bits)) I notice the same display bug.
Maybe the answer is in the html source...
lib.povray.org detail pages begin with
<!DOCTYPE html>
only, instead of
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
in all other povray.org pages.
So, I tried by changing this 1st line, in a new local saved file. Then I opened
it in Firefox, and it works. The HTML page is displayed correctly.
Now, you know what to do :)

That's not it. Browsers, Firefox in particular, are very generous in
what they accept. I believe if you save that file with the original
html5 DOCTYPE, it would render just as fine.
The issue is the apache server config, which needs:
AddType text/html .html
to set the output content-type to
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
instead of
Content-Type: text/plain

Nice investigations everyone, BUT the current serving of html as text by
the server IS DONE ON PURPOSE.
It was, IIRC, a reaction to spam-bots filling entries with html to catch
unprotected readers.
Maybe it was not the best move, but it was done.

Indeed. I do remember this. The object collection had become quite
useless because of those bots. :-/

Should not try to show/serve an HTML page at all in that case. Maybe
show some other safer type of markup instead, or just a text file.
