Yes, I patched a version of developers-handbook to remove those
newlines from a few <screen> tags tonight. I regenerated the book,
and the output looks[1] more evenly spaced in Netscape and Lynx.
The w3m browser could care less :) it shows the same on screen output.
[1] The definition of 'looks' is somewhat of a personal opinion here.
I am not a style expert, for all it matters. It just seems to me
than vertical spaces are unevenly distributed around <pre> tags in
the resulting output.
