in odd places appears as text

[omarshammas]

Again I'm dealing with some pretty bad code, and really pushing the limits of the library.

The following

<br>&nbsp;

gets converted to

= succeed " " do
  %br/

I would have assumed it would result in

%br
 

The current setup cause nbsp to appear as text in the html.

[omarshammas]

Actually it appears that whenever there is text at the end of some html element it is used as the succeed statement.

For example, this line caused the same error.

<a href="http://example.com/">Look here</a> come on.

And below is the corresponding haml.

= succeed "come on." do
  %a{href: "http://example.com/"} Look here

However one would expect

%a{href: "http://example.com/"} Check me out
come on.

@omarshammas I am not able to reproduce this.
With html2haml versions 1.1 and 2.0.0.beta:

$> echo '<a href="http://example.com/">Look here</a> come on.' | html2haml -e
%a{:href => "http://example.com/"} Look here
come on.

Which version of the library are you using?

Maybe it's connected with Nokogiri::XML parser. When html2haml prefers XML parser to Nokogiri::HTML then strange errors may appear.

[snatchev]

Very likely. Generally, the rule is if Nokogiri's HTML parser produces some error codes, it will try to use the XML parser which is more forgiving. This works well on things like partials and other HTML fragments, and not entire HTML documents.

I'm not entirely sure how to proceed with this issue, but I will leave it open.

Hey guys, sorry it was such a long time ago I don't even remember how I came across this error.
