#68 Unmatched <script> tag eats the rest of the markup in the document

[Trejkaz]

We're evaluating switching to Jericho from our own parser based on HTMLParser, as ours is sort of limited.

For this sample from our test cases:

Leading Line.
<script>Some broken script.<p>Line 1.</p><p>Line 2.</p>

Jericho currently decides that the last

is the end of the <script>, resulting in our text extraction getting no content as we omit scripts.</p> <p>Our existing parser hits the <p> and decides that the script is over, so "Line 1." comes out as text.</p></script>

Rats. Markdown interpreted that tag as part of the content and now I can't fix it.

Hi Trejkaz,

I can't see exactly what your problem is because of the markup issue, but the documentation of the TagType.isValidPosition method includes a comprehensive discussion about how script elements are parsed in different circumstances, and how the behaviour compares to HTML4 and HTML5 specifications.
