Hello,
Where's the lxml issue tracker? I couldn't find it?
Void elements are html tags that don't need a closing tag. <br> is a
well known example:
>>> from lxml.builder import E
>>> html.tostring(E.br())
'<br>'
>>> etree.tostring(E.br())
'<br/>'
>>>
<p> is not a void element, so:
>>> html.tostring(E.p())
'<p></p>'
>>> etree.tostring(E.p())
'<p/>'
see the full list:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#elements-0
While working on etree.htmlfile, I noticed that the following tags are
not treated as void:
embed, keygen, source, track, wbr
see: https://github.com/lxml/lxml/pull/142#issuecomment-55588559
because of this, lxml can produce invalid html.
once this issue is resolved, the tuple at:
https://github.com/lxml/lxml/commit/c039e03798d84ac3f897354f0780f15346da136…
needs to be updated.
best,
burak
