Re: [Htmlparser-user] Parsing Partial HTML text

[Madhur K. T. <mad...@gm...>]

Hi Derrick,
I understand that the parser wraps unknown/unregistered tags in generic 
tag classes. But do you think, with so many normal tags not registered 
with HmlParser, it would be time to get them incorporated in the set of 
tags the node factory registers? I mean, the HTML tags - MAP, AREA, 
TBODY, THEAD etc... are very common in a HTML content and I think it 
would be good to have them registered, so that people can work on it.

Would like to hear your comments on the same.
Thanks,
