Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.4.2 , 1.5.0 Documentation

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JDK 1.5 doc pages all have code like the following:

<DL>
<DT><PRE>public interface <B>Runnable</B></DL>
</PRE>

Not only are any/all <DT> tags left unclosed, but, worse, the <PRE> tag extent overlaps the <DL> tag's.  This could cause pages to render incorrectly in some browsers, and does kill at least one third party tool (mine) that works with the generated docs.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
