This works for me. Ensure you are using the latest version and also try an alternative parser (e.g., html.parser).

kurthuwig commented 11 years ago

Thank you, the option "-p html.parser" did the trick. Is there a reason that it is not the default?

hknust commented 11 years ago

Thanks, I had the same issue. The option is -q html.parser, though.

dgorissen commented 11 years ago

html.parser now the default.
