Public bug reported: Given a minimal parser (below) and a particular input file (attached), iterparse is not returning the `tail` of the last `<span>` tag.
I am listening for the `end` event, which is the default, instead of the `start` event. Changing the input, for example by deleting unrelated tags such as the `<link>` tag in the `<head>`, causes the missing text to reappear. This makes it hard to produce a minified input! I was able to remove everything /after/ the element with the missing tail, which doesn't affect the bug, so that is what I attached. I took the silence on the mailing list to mean that I did not have any obvious problems with the way I was using iterparse. :) https://mailman- mail5.webfaction.com/pipermail/lxml/2017-April/007882.html --- ```python #!/usr/bin/env python3 import sys from lxml import etree for _, element in etree.iterparse(sys.argv[1], html=True): print(( element.tag, element.attrib, element.text, element.tail, )) ``` Invoke by: ```sh $ ./bug.py bug.html | grep "splays their blue cards left" ``` Expected output: ``` ('span', {'class': 'age e'}, '4', '.\n...
