Hello list,

I've searched around but can't find an answer on this.

The problem is that if I parse some HTML which have certain characters converted to HTML enties i.eö they are stripped away.

I.e<h1>Björn</h1> becomes<h1>Bjrn</h1>

I'm using lxml 2.3 on Mac OS X 10.6

The parser is setup up like this;

parser = html.XHTMLParser(recover=True, ns_clean=True, remove_blank_text=True, resolve_entities=False)

Using "recover=True" with an XML parser has a clear smell to me. Fix your data instead. Regarding XHTML entity references, consider reading the documentation: http://lxml.de/api/lxml.html.XHTMLParser-class.html Stefan
