Confusing NN is not hard to do. Just write valid code :)

Actually NN is TOO "particular about the HTML coding." In order for NN to
correctly render certain code, tags that should be optional, must be
included. Here's an example I didn't realize until it was reported to me by
a user:

<P style="font-size: 150%">
Some text here
<P style="font-size: 150%">
Some text here
<P style="font-size: 150%">
Some text here

Communicator didn't realize the </P> is optional and nested the paragraphs.
Each section of text grew in size by 50% over the size of the previous
paragraph. Adding the </P> tags solved NN's confusion. I now close every
tag, even list items and options. I just don't want to take a chance that NN
will get confused again.

Let's all pray that they get it right with NN5. If they do, I promise to be
as rabid a NN fan as I am now an IE fan.
