Description HTML WG bugbot 2011-08-03 05:47:05 UTC

The tags "br" and "&nbsp" are most frequently used.



The suggestion is to reduce and simplify the code while using the tags "br"
and "&nbsp" multiple times.



Current code for three tabs: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Suggested Code: &3nbsp;



Current code for three newlines:  <br/><br/><br/> Suggested Code: <3br/>



Similarly, the user can use any integer(in place of 3) for the number of
times the tags needs to be repeated.

Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The proposed syntactic sugar doesn't broaden the expressiveness of the language but would fail to Degrade Gracefully.
