xml (html) parser ignores <section> tags

[Largo84]

When Leo attempts to parse an html page using either @auto or @clean (refresh from disc), it does a pretty good job of creating nodes from <div> and other tags. However, it doesn't create nodes for <section> tags. For large files, it's a real pain to go through the code and find where they begin and end, then to manually insert nodes. Should I post an enhancement request for this on GitHub or is there something I'm missing?

Also, is there a setting to prevent the parser from 'overdoing it'? For example, have the parser to *not* create nodes for <p>, <li> or other user selectable tags.

PS Try it for yourself with the attached file.

​Thanks for asking first.  The @data import_xml_tags setting is probably what you want.  Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

I added the @data import_xml_tags to my @settings node (local file, didn't change myLeoSettings) with the following list:

# lowercase xml tags, one per line.

html

body

head

div

table

section

ul

ol

dl

form

tbody

1. <section> is still *not* picked up.
2. Others *are* that I don't want (e.g. <i>, <li>, <a> and many others).

I tried with and without a similar @data import_html_tags with the same results (not really sure I know why to use one over the other).

That doesn't work (see other post for details). Any other suggestions?

Sorry to take so long to respond properly to this.

It looks to me that your opening section tags end with `>` instead of `/>`.  For example,

`<section id="Instructions" class="main-content-section">`

not:

`<section id="Instructions" class="main-content-section"/>

Because of this html error, Leo doesn't look for the matching `</section>` tags.

In other words, the fault is in example.html, not in Leo's html importer.
