In the following HTML document "x.html", the <a> is inside the <h1> tag which is inside the <p> tag:

-------------------

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<div><h1><a href="http://www.google.com">GOOGLE!</a></h1></div>

</body>

</html>

-------------------

But when I parse it with TagSoup 1.2.1, it adds both the <a> and <h1> tag nodes as direct children of the <p> tag.

The same error happens when I replace the <h1> tag with other header tags <h2> ... <h5>, and/or the <p> tag with a <div> or <span> tag.

[Haven't experimented with other replacements].

This seems to be a basic issue.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Cheers,

Devarajan
