Creating Break Elements
The problem that I am having is regarding parsing <br> tags in an HTML
document. I keep getting an error saying that <br> needs to be ended with
an </br> tag. However, no matter what I try (using HTMLBRElement or
TextElement or HTMLElement) I cannot get an </br> tag. Is there a parser
feature that can be turned off or is there any way to get a <br> and a
matching </br>? I am not having this problem with any other tags (b, ul,
etc) only the br.
Thanks,
Eric Penetar

One other option would be to discard the HTMLDocument classes entirely,
and instead create all the neccesary tags as if they were xml tags. It's a
bit of a hack but seems to do the trick

Most HTML documents are *not* well-formed XML documents and
therefore cannot be parsed with an XML parser. For possible
solutions, please see my response to David Hirst's post titled
"validating html".
