From c99d27130d784abfd53b523f0b5f3cc1517d9d65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Bottinelli Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 16:44:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix HTML parser to support unquoted attributes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit fixes issue #25 by replacing the XML parser with lxml's HTML parser for HTML files. The XML parser incorrectly required quoted attributes (e.g., name="foo"), but HTML5 allows unquoted attributes (e.g., name=foo). Changes: - Added lxml>=4.9.0 as a dependency in pyproject.toml - Overrode build_tree() method in HTML class to use lxml.html parser - Added _lxml_to_et() helper to convert lxml trees to ElementTree format - Implemented graceful fallback to XML parser if lxml is not available - Added comprehensive tests for both quoted and unquoted HTML attributes - XML parsing remains unchanged and continues to use strict ET parser The lxml.html parser provides lenient HTML5-compliant parsing while maintaining compatibility with the existing XMLElement tree structure. All 66 existing tests pass with no regressions.

Tests added: - test_unquoted_attributes: Tests the exact issue from #25 - parsing HTML with unquoted attributes like - test_mixed_quoted_unquoted_attributes: Ensures mixed quoted/unquoted attributes work correctly - test_quoted_attributes_backward_compatibility: Verifies backward compatibility with fully quoted HTML - test_complex_unquoted_attributes: Tests more complex real-world cases with multiple unquoted attributes All tests verify that: 1. HTML files parse without errors 2. Trees are built successfully 3. Diffs can be computed between files 4. Changes are correctly captured in the diff output The test file is designed to be extensible for future HTML-related improvements.

more text" - lxml correctly parses text nodes as element text and tail attributes Both tests pass, confirming that the lxml HTML parser (introduced to fix issue #25) also resolves these related HTML parsing issues.
