example document

```html
some<br>text
```

data:text/html,some<br>text

text-search succeeds to find the query "some
text"

text-search fails to find the query "some text"

expected: matching should be less strict
(whitespace should be normalized)
so that both queries succeed

use case: ebooks in EPUB-FXL format
searching multiple words should work across linebreaks
