Kind of HTML errors that break the library #105

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

The readme mentions that malformed errors might break the library. Can you give examples of html that might cause issues?

@taoqf I was hoping for an example of html file that would break it.

I am so sorry that I don't get much time on this.

Hi! Just wanted to add a quick answer on this.

There is currently one type of error which can cause an improper output, which is malformed HTML by not closing tags.

For example:

<tagA>
<tagB>
<tagC>
<tagD>
</tagB>
</tagA>

Not properly closing a tag can cause issues in the parse output. This is something that I hope to address in the near future.
