it won't parse attributes when there's content inside tag

Hi When parsing that piece

<offers>
<offer available="true" original_id="893169" type="vendor.model" id="7602443">
<delivery>true</delivery>
[...skip...]
<vendorCode>10131034  500</vendorCode>
<param name="Color">blue</param>
<param name="Collection">Winter 2014/2015</param>
<param name="Season">Winter</param>
<param name="Country">China</param>
<param name="Unit=INT">46/48</param>
<param name="Sex">Female</param>
<param name="Age">Adult</param>
<categoryId>1908</categoryId>
[...skip...]
</offer>

with that code:

parser = Saxerator.parser(xml) do |config|
  config.output_type = :hash
  config.symbolize_keys!
  config.put_attributes_in_hash!
end
items = parser.for_tag(:offer)

I get

puts items.first
{:delivery=>"true",
  [...skip...],
  :manufacturer_warranty=>"true", 
  :param=>["blue", "winter 2014/2015", "Winter", "China", "46/48", "Female", "Adult"], 
  :categoryId=>"1908",
  [...skip...]
}

instead of, for ex.

{ :param => [ { name:  "Color", "": "blue" }, 
  { name: "Collection", "": "Winter  2014/2015" },
  { name: "Season", "": "Winter"  },
  { name: "Sex", "": "Female" } ...], ...

etc. Also that piece <category id="1783" parentId="1781">Jeans</category> is parsed simply as "Jeans" ignoring :id and :parentId

I really don't know how exactly that situation must be processed, but sure there's information lost, and this is unwanted.

Do the param strings respond to attributes? It does sound like something's fishy with put_attributes_in_hash! in that scenario.

[deemytch]

Sorry, don't understand you. Could you explain?

[soulcutter]

items.first[:param].first.attributes Does this work and give you a hash containing { :name => 'Color' } ?

[deemytch]

items.first[:param].first.attributes => {"name"=>"Color"} yes, got it! Thank you.

[deemytch]

categories.first.attributes => {"id"=>"1784", "parentId"=>"1781"}

[deemytch]

I think that likely to be in the Readme, what you think?

[soulcutter]

Yeah, I'd like some better documentation
