Scraped Summaries are Mauled #95

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When we parse in a summary from ComicVine, we have to convert it from HTML
to plain text.   The current algorithm that does this gets it wrong
sometimes, inserting extra spaces where they don't need to be, and deleting
something that need to be there.

Constructs that are handled especially badly include:

<br>
<p></p>
<i> </i>
etc.
