<p> inside <a> parsed outside <a> - how customize TagSoup parsing ?

[reyz]

I have a problem with the following structure:

<a>
  <li></li>
  <p></p>
</a>

When parsed by TagSoup becomes,

<a>
  <li></li>
</a>
<p></p>

However this structure is not modified when parsed by standards like JavaFX WebKit or Chrome.

I have searched for ways to customize tagsoup parsing but it is not documented.

There's maybe something to do by overriding the html.tssl file (in tagsoup-1.2.1\src\definitions jar folder) or implementing the HTMLModels class (which could be set like this: saxParser.setProperty(Parser.schemaProperty, schema implementing HTMLModels)) ?

Indeed, that's what you want. Modify html.tssl so that the description
of the "a" element involves whatever groups of child elements you wish
to include. You can create new groups if you are careful not to
overrun the limit of 32 groups.

Thanks for your answer.

I finally found a solution inside my code by extending HTMLSchema:

private class CustomHTMLSchema extends HTMLSchema
{
    public CustomHTMLSchema()
    {
        super();
        ElementType elA = getElementType("a");
        elA.setModel(elA.model() | M_BLOCK);
    }
}

...

saxParser = SAXParserImpl.newInstance(null);
saxParser.setProperty(Parser.schemaProperty, new CustomHTMLSchema());
