Hi Kent, Thanks a lot for that answer. I have had a look at the BS code, and I have to admit I'm a bit at a loss: how would you add several nestable tag names in that list?
I tried NESTABLE_TAGS = BeautifulSoup.buildTagMap( [], 'parameter', 'parameters' ) for example, but I kept having these nesting issues. I fact I have a whole bunch of tags that I need to make nestable....
