html-parser egg can not handle spaces between html attributes and values correctly.
Spaces are allowed around '=' in a tag's attributes even though it is a bad practice. (see discussion in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7064095/spaces-between-html-attributes-and-values) But when use the latest version of html-parser process following html: #+begin_example <a href="/dictionary/lineament" class = "mw_t_sx"><span class='text-uppercase'>lineament</span></a> #+end_example It will generate sxml like this: #+begin_example (*TOP* (a (@ (href "/dictionary/lineament") (class)) "= \"mw_t_sx\">" (span (@ (class "text-uppercase")) "lineament")) "\n") #+end_example Since html-parser's major goal is "bug-for-bug compatibility", it should handle the spaces in attributes correctly. #+begin_example $ chicken-csi -version CHICKEN (c) 2008-2021, The CHICKEN Team (c) 2000-2007, Felix L. Winkelmann Version 5.3.0 (rev e31bbee5) linux-unix-gnu-x86-64 [ 64bit dload ptables ] $ cat ~/.cache/chicken-install/html-parser/VERSION "0.3" #+end_example Thanks Pan
