[Htmlparser-user] Lexer differences between 1.4 and 1.6

[Vincent M. <vm...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have some code that uses htmlparser 1.4 and  I am looking at
upgrading it to the latest 1.6 integration build. However, I am seeing
differences in the way the input is processed that make the work more
difficult.

Given the input (note it's missing a quote):
Hello <a href=3D"http://www.foo.com>World</a>

With htmlparser 1.4, I get the following nodes:
Text: Hello
Begin tag: a href=3D"http://www.foo.com"
Text: World
End tag: a

With htmlparser 1.6, I get these:
Text: Hello
LinkTag: link to http://www.foo.com>link</a>

The 1.6 behavior makes error recovery a lot more difficult. Is there a
way to have 1.6 behave like 1.4 in this case?

Thanks for your help,

    Vince.

No, sorry, there is no 'backwards compatibility' switch.

Thanks Derrick.

Are "changes.txt" and "release.txt" all the documents about the evolution o=
f
htmlparser between 1.4 and 1.5/1.6, or is there something else that would
talk about changes in concepts and design between the different releases?

Thanks,

    Vince.

Those are the primary resources. Mostly it's the Javadocs, for example 
there's a good summary piece of the most major difference (underlying 
lexer) in the lexer package:
http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/htmlparser/lexer/package-summary.html
