html5lib-python emits error about 'trailing solidus' on img tag

[ericpromislow]

This should be a warning, not an error, for empty elements.

From html5.dtd:

From http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/syntax.html#self-closing-start-tag-state:

">" (U+003E)
Set the self-closing flag of the current tag token. Switch to the data state. Emit the current tag token.

Anything else gives a parse error.

Note the DTD is not normative (and nor does it express all the constraints of the content model).

Also note html5lib's implementation of the parse errors hasn't been active maintained in… years.

Noted. Thank you.

(I'm not saying this won't be fixed, it's just really low priority it get parse errors working, as almost nobody cares about them.)

It'd be great if someone could add a test case for this or a code example or something.

I'm going to bump this out of 1.0 because there's been no progress on this.
