IA: HTML Document Truncated When XMP Tag Is Used

• Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, versions 1.0, 1.0z
• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

Internet Assistant does not interpret the <XMP>...</XMP> element as an <<Unknown HTML Tag>> element and truncates your text beginning with the <XMP> tag to the end of the document. This affects only the on-screen display and does not truncate the actual content of the document.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Assistant for Word for Windows versions 1.0, and 1.0z. This problem was corrected in Internet Assistant version 2.0 for Word for Windows 95.

WORKAROUND

Open the document as Text Only and replace the <XMP> and </XMP> tags with <PRE> and </PRE> tags, respectively.

MORE INFORMATION

The <XMP>...</XMP> element is obsolete and has been replaced by the <PRE>...</PRE> element. Like the <PRE> tag, the <XMP> tag uses a fixed- width font and preserves character spacing, line breaks, and tab formatting that you use in your source HTML file, when displayed in your Internet browser.
