DT's and DD's should auto-close each other...The following simple test, when
rendered in raptor does the wrong thing because the parser leaves the DD in the
DT.

<HTML>
 <HEAD>
  <STYLE type="text/css">
   DT { display: compact; font-weight: bolder; }
   DD { margin-left: 4em; }
  </STYLE>
 </HEAD>
 <BODY>
  An example of the compact style:
  <DL>
   <DT>short
   <DD>Description goes here
   <DT>too long for the margin
   <DD>Description goes here
  </DL>
 </BODY>
</HTML>

This bug was the result of my mininterpreting the HTML spec for these tags.
Sorry.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Verified fixed in 12.1.98 build, using XP Viewer on NT 4.0 SP3 & Win98.

Specifically, the two <DT> items are presented in boldface on the left-hand side
of the page, with the second "Description goes here" <DD> item placed a line
below the "too long for the margin" line.
