<p>If you have any comments to make regarding this test, e-mail <a
href="mailto:py8ieh=eviltests-comments@bath.ac.uk">py8ieh=eviltests@bath.ac.uk</a>.</p>
<dl>
<dt>Prerequisites</dt>
<dd>Browsers that are subjected to this test should support the
SGML comments: <code>&lt;!-- -- -- --&gt;</code>.</dd>
</dl>
<h2>1. The comment delimited is <code>--</code></h2>
<p class="note">Note that there are four (4) sub-tests to this
section. Because of the nature of these tests, some may not appear. If
so, there is a bug. I repeat: there should be four separate tests in
section 1! Each consists of a bit of explanatory text, a purple box
with yellow text, and some explanatory markup.</p>
<P>The comment delimiter is <code>--</code>, not <code>&lt;!--</code>
and <code>--&gt</code>. In the following sentence, the word
<q>INCORRECTLY</q> should not appear:</P>
<P class=test>This browser parses comments <!-- -- -->
INCORRECTLY! Yes, I said in<!-- -- -->correctly.</P>
<!-- -->
<P>The markup used was:</P>
<PRE>
&lt;P&gt;This browser parses comments &lt;!-- -- --&gt; INCORRECTLY!
Yes, I said in&lt;!-- -- --&gt;correctly.&lt;/P&gt;
</PRE>
<P>If you take <code>--</code> to be the comment delimiter, you can
easily see that the words in the middle are actually inside a
comment.</P>
<P>Here is another:</P>
<P class=test>This browser parses comments
<!---- -->INCORRECTLY! Yes, I said in<!------>correctly.</P>
<P>The markup used was:</P>
<PRE>
&lt;P&gt;This browser parses comments
&lt;!---- --&gt;INCORRECTLY! Yes, I said in&lt;!------&gt;correctly.&lt;/P&gt;
</PRE>
<p>Note that it is a serious error if this is the paragraph
immediately after the test line! There should be some commentary
(including a snippet of the source of the last test) between this
paragraph and the previous test.</p>
<P>Here is yet another:</P>
<P class=test>This browser parses comments
<!------>INCORRECTLY! Yes, I said in<!------>correctly.</P>
<P>The markup used was:</P>
<PRE>
&lt;P&gt;This browser parses comments
&lt;!------&gt;INCORRECTLY! Yes, I said in&lt;!------&gt;correctly.&lt;/P&gt;
</PRE>
<p>Note that it is a serious error if this is the paragraph
immediately after the test line! There should be some commentary
(including a snippet of the source of the last test) between this
paragraph and the previous test.</p>
<P>And finally, here is yet another. Hopefully that should cover all bases...</P>
<P class=test>This browser parses comments
<!-- ---->INCORRECTLY! Yes, I said in<!------>correctly.</P>
<P>The markup used was:</P>
<PRE>
&lt;P&gt;This browser parses comments
&lt;!-- ----&gt;INCORRECTLY! Yes, I said in&lt;!------&gt;correctly.&lt;/P&gt;
</PRE>
<p>Note that it is a serious error if this is the paragraph
immediately after the test line! There should be some commentary
(including a snippet of the source of the last test) between this
paragraph and the previous test.</p>
<h2>2. Comments should not mess up whitespace collapsing!</h2>

certainly not <code>-&gt</code>. In the following sentence, the word

<P>If you take <code>--</code> to be the comment delimiter, you can
