Parsing/rendering ends unexpectedly on HTML5 <br> tags

momijizukamori commented 3 years ago

When opening HTML documents with HTML5-compliant linebreak tags (<br>, rather than XHTML-style <br \>, nothing is rendered after the tag - the document just ends there. Some quick HTML snippets as examples (as github doesn't allow HTML attachments): Good:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>
        XHTML-style breaks
    </title>
</head>

<body>
    Section 1
    <br />
    Section 2
    <br />
    Section 3
</body>
</html>

Bad:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>
        HTML5-style breaks
    </title>
</head>

<body>
    Section 1
    <br>
    Section 2
    <br>
    Section 3
</body>
</html>

The HTML renderer was extracted from the EPUB renderer, itself based on a simple XML parser (since EPUB2 is based on XHTML).

This bug is really annoying in dictionaries. For example in Wiktionary-Dictionaries.

In my case, plato also ignores
, and doesn't show newlines, as shown in the following example:

The epub/kepub that comes with kobo can display line breaks normally.

<p class="indent" data-immersive_translate_walked="827a1f24-8b3d-4531-8356-480c5a00c3fa">The striking irony here is that the last possible object that can be linked to the German currency is precisely such a curve: the reichsmark (as the currency was previously called) went from four per dollar to <em data-immersive_translate_walked="827a1f24-8b3d-4531-8356-480c5a00c3fa">four trillion</em> per dollar in the space of a few years during the 1920s, an outcome that tells you that the bell curve is meaningless as a description of the randomness in currency fluctuations. All you need to reject the bell curve is for such a movement to occur once, and only once—just consider the consequences. Yet there was the bell curve, and next to it Herr Professor Doktor Gauss, unprepossessing, a little stern, certainly not someone I’d want to spend time with lounging on a terrace, drinking pastis, and holding a conversation without a subject.
