[issue26084] HTMLParser mishandles last attribute in self-closing tag

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

This is not a bug, as described in the HTML5 standard[0], if an unquoted attribute value is followed by a /, the / is included (the "anything else" branch of that list).
This is also what browsers do: try to create an HTML document that includes <img title=test/> and open it in a browser, then use the inspector to examine the result -- you will see <img title="test/"></img> (at least on firefox).
HTMLParser follows the HTML5 standard, so I'm closing this as "not a bug".
Thanks anyway for the report and to Xiang for pointing out that it's not a bug.
