Ideally? Follow the DTD and insert the implied </PRE>.

As far as "correctness" goes, there's no point of debate - the authoritative
description of anything you call text/html is the DTD from W3C, and that
says you can't have Hx inside PRE. My personal opinion is that lynx shouldn't
contribute to the tag-soup mentality by ignoring incorrect markup. However,
I'm a self-confessed purist who doesn't really browse the web as such (I visit
about three sites occasionally), so I suspect I'm in a minority. I'd prefer
lynx to "do it right", but I'm not averse to lynx "doing it usefully" instead.
