13.72 White space around
images and objects

==========================================

I always wondered about these "HTML Errors" that only show up when I validate a site at
"DR. Watson." I finally found the HTML "rule?"(correct term?) that this comes from.

DR Watson Gives this error for hyperlinks
They are called element A

line #10: leading whitespace in content of container element A

Text below from this HTML Standards page from W3.org

Dr.Watson returns the same errors for this page as well. Validate both this page and Moon Stars at: WDG

You do not get these errors. When clicking on the "A" to get information about that HTML code. WDG first defines them as "Anchors." The hyperlinks are also called elements by WDG further down on their page.
