Hi Siemen let me know your loging and I can add you to commit. Paul is also taking care of Soup. Now I like XPath for scraping. Did you see the tutorial I wrote with Peter. STef On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 2:17 PM, Siemen Baader <siemenbaader@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all,
who maintains Soup, the HTML parser? Stef?
It seems to auto-close <button> (and <a>) tags when nested inside another element. I wrote this test that fails:
testNestedButton "this works with nested <div> tags instead of <button> and when there is no enclosing <div> at all. but here <button> is auto-closed."
"a does not work either"
| soup | soup := Soup fromString: '<div><button> <span>text</span> </button> </div>'. self assert: soup div button span string equals: 'text'

Where should I look to prevent Soup from auto-closing the tag, and where & how should I submit my fix?
cheers, Siemen
