Broken HTML isn't parsed correctly #241

This may be a Works As Designed ticket, in which case feel free to close as appropriate.

The following HTML does not parse correctly:

nhp = require('node-html-parser')
console.log(nhp.parse('<html><body id="main"><div></body></html>').toString())
// Output: '<html></html>'
// Expected: '<html><body id="main"><div></body></html>'

Thanks for the report. This is working as designed. Tradeoff for speed.

Per the readme:

For this reason, some malformatted HTML may not be able to parse correctly, but most usual errors are covered (eg. HTML4 style no closing
, etc).
