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
