do you have a particular URL that demonstrates the problem? This sounds suspiciously like the traditional "drop cap" (which can be done in CSS alone, maintaining the text uninterrrupted, but before it became popular to do in CSS, folks would do by swapping out the first real letter with a fancy image of that letter.)
I'm not sure about that carat-J aspect of things (it's a common way to render control characters, and ^J is a newline, so it's not uncommon. I poked around at multiple Politico pages but didn't encounter any issues. It might also help to know which version of lynx you're using and in what environment (at a console, in the Mac terminal, in Windows, in an xterm/rxvt/urxvt/st/gnome-terminal/whatever on Linux or a BSD, etc) which might also help track down any encoding issues. -Tim On 2021-03-31 09:09, Chime Hart wrote: > Well, this seems strange?
