Re: [xml] DOM parser and HTML entities inside the <script> tag

Hi Michael,

Many thanks for the feedback.

The quotes are preserved in your example but when I run xmllint with the html content:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

var d=""Hello world;" <Test> & ";

var h="<p>Some other text</p>";

</script></head></html>

I get the following result:

script.html:4: HTML parser error : Unexpected end tag : p

var h="<p>Some other text</p>";

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

var d=""Hello world;" <Test> & ";

var h="<p>Some other text";

</script></head></html>

The html parser removed the closing </p> tag from the script.

IMO, I don't think the parser should be parsing content within the <script> tag

What do you think?

Best regards,

Raymond
