New submission from Chenyun Yang:
For void elements such as (<link>, <img>), there doesn't need to have xhtml
empty end tag. HtmlParser which relies on the XHTML empty end syntax failed to
handle this situation.
from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
# create a subclass and override the handler methods
class MyHTMLParser(HTMLParser):
def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
print "Encountered a start tag:", tag
def handle_endtag(self, tag):
print "Encountered an end tag :", tag
def handle_data(self, data):
print "Encountered some data :", data
>>> parser.feed('<link rel="import"><img src="som">')
Encountered a start tag: link
Encountered a start tag: img
>>> parser.feed('<link rel="import"/><img src="som"/>')
Encountered a start tag: link
Encountered an end tag : link
Encountered a start tag: img
Encountered an end tag : img
