Re: [Htmlparser-developer] AI - to be or not to be

Hi Somik,

I would have thought the solution to this would be to define under which 
circumstances a pair of apostrophes will indicate text.  In the first 
two examples you are inside an ANCHOR tag, and in the third you are 
inside a SCRIPT tag.  It seems to me that you should only be using 
apostrophe's to indicate text strings inside a SCRIPT tag, no?  If 
that's true then set your parsing behaviour differently depending on the 
tag type.
