Thanks for the clue; e.g. I was in violation of xhtml nesting conventions!
However I really don't want to emit color information on each line if
I can help it, for download efficiency reasons but also because of
coding complications.
So let me phrase the question more generally. What *IS* the best way
of generating line numbered text in a fixed-width font, with nested
color changes as I described before. One way that might work is:
<pre>
1. black<code class="even">red
2. red</code>black
</pre>
Is this a reccomended approach?
><ol>
><li><span class="even">Black black black </span><span
>class="even">{{ Red red red</span></li>
><li><span class="even">Red red red </span><span class="odd">{{ Black
>black black</span></li>
