[daisy] HtmlCleaner : strange case ?

Tue Nov 14 05:25:04 CST 2006

Hi,

I dig this a little this morning and find that this is really a strange
case.

<p><ul><li><p>hello!</p></li></ul></p>

is cleaned as (on 1 line for brievity)

<ul><li/></ul><p>hello!</p>

but

<ul><li><p>hello!</p></li></ul>

is cleaned as

<ul><li><p>hello!</p></li></ul>

//coment: which, BTW, is not valid xhtml (from the stnadards, li can not have p inside them).

Could someone provide me some information on this behavior ?

Thanks,

regards,
chris
