Calibre bug?

I thought I would check here first.

If Calibre has to split an html into parts, I believe it does not handle <pre> tags correctly.

In my example, the input looks like:

  <pre class="idl">interface <dfn id="htmlelement">HTMLElement</dfn> : <a href="part000.html#element">Element</a> {
  // <a href="part001.html#dom-tree-accessors">DOM tree accessors</a>
  NodeList <a href="part001.html#dom-getelementsbyclassname" title="dom-getElementsByClassName">getElementsByClassName</a>(in D

and the output is:

  <pre class="idl">interface HTMLElement : Element {
  // DOM tree accessors
  NodeList getElementsByClassName(in DOMString classNames);

Also, references to the id point to the wrong part in at least one case I have.

I just downloaded 0.6.46 and it has the problem too.

IIRC the <pre> splitting code doesn't handle tags inside a <pre> well. Iy you want to do that use a <div> and use css to set the whitespace rules instead.
