Re: [Htmlparser-user] Parsing malformed HTML whilst still leaving it intact

[Derrick O. <Der...@Ro...>]

This has been a requested task for two years now:
http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?group_project_id=21601&group_id=24399&func=browse

The virtual tags that are added have the start position the same as the 
end position, so a smarter toHtml() could recognize them that way and 
avoid outputting them.
