>Description:
The HTML code generated in basesrc/distrib/notes is ghastly. Here is an example from the 1.5.1 i386 INSTALL.html:
<em></em><em>22.3</em><em> MB</em><em> gzipped,</em><em> 98.8</em><em> MB</em><em> uncompressed</em>
<p><dt><b></b><b>pkgsrc</b><dd>
In addition to this, the macppc INSTALL.html is unweildy enough that Internet Explorer 5 for MacOS choke on the file, and only displays the first half.
There is also a lot of whitespace in addition to useless tags, for example (from the same file):
<code></code><code>/usr/src</code>
with the command:
<p>
<br>
<code></code><code>#</code><b></b>( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) < set_name.tgz
<br>
<p>
The
By removing useless tags and whitespace, the HTML file will be smaller, quicker to load, and take up less space.
