Hi,

I parse html source with htmlparser. I catch a tag, br, issue. 

my code :
<div>
aaaa<br>
</div>
parse result:
begin tag: div
begin tag: br
end tag: div

So I can't find end tag of 'br'. I know it is invalid text, '<br>', it set htmlparser parameter, strict, to 'False', it can't help me also. 

Please help fix it. Thanks.

The HTML you pasted looks valid to me -- the br element doesn't have an end tag and the HTML 4.01 standard explicitly says "Start tag: required, End tag: forbidden" [0].
Why do you think this is a problem?

By HTML standard, it is not a bug.
I will verify my code. Thanks for your reply.
