<p><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>This page is the topmost page for
testing residual style. Residual style handling refers to automatic document
conversions performed by Gecko when encounters mal-formed HTML fontstyle
elements (explicit style tags -- not CSS). For example:</font></font>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>&lt;html>&lt;body><font color="#009900">&lt;b></font><font color="#3366FF">&lt;div>text&lt;/div></font><font color="#009900">&lt;/b></font>&lt;/body>&lt;/html></font></font>

<p><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>According to the spec, &lt;b> is
a fontstyle element, whereas &lt;div> is a block element. As a rule, fontstyle
tags can't contain block elements, which means that the preceeding example
is malformed. In order to remain backward compatible and simultaneously
maintain well-formed documents, Gecko may have to rewrite the document
to be correct. The prior example is rewritten by Gecko like this:</font></font>

<p><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>You can make your own residual style
tests either manually, or by using the htmlgen program that is checked
into the tree at mozilla\htmlparser\htmlgen. Most residual style problems
fall into one of two categories: 1) illegal containment; 2) malformed closures.
Note that these problems can exist for fontstyle, phrasal and special tags
(see the list below). Also note that navigator behavior is very inconsistent
with respect to these problems, so don't assume that one testcase covers
all cases.</font></font><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1></font></font>
<p><b><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>Illegal Containment Sample</font></font></b>
<br><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1>This example shows a &lt;b> containing
a &lt;div>, which is illegal under HTML.</font></font><font face="Verdana"><font size=-1></font></font>
