I think I've found a way to fix the double-spacing problem in EWW and
Lynx without sacrificing styling: put the entire patch within a single
'pre' element, and then put each line within a 'span' element.  The
styling of each line can then be applied to the 'span's.

What do you think?

      Regards,
        Mark
