Jason E Bailey updated SLING-3270:
----------------------------------
    Attachment: 218.patch

To fully support HTML5 you would need to do something like the referenced Univeristy of Warwick repo. I'm reluctant to do that without fully understanding all of the potential changes involved. Additionally, while reviewing the tagsoup codebase it does look like there's room to improve the overall efficiency of this library. Both cases would assume pulling in this parser into Sling for maintenance. I've attached what I consider the smallest change possible which will support the HTML5 version of the 'a' tag. This is generated from the github pr.

> Given the following fragment of HTML
> <a href="url"><div></div></a>
> This is invalid html4 and valid html5, as html5 allows anchor tags to contain block elements.
> The current html-generator corrects the bad html4 and produces the following output
> <a href="url"></a><div></div>
