bug - string content of attribute being tokenized by tagsoup

[Ihe Onwuka]

Steps to recreate

run tagsoup on this page

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1170066-tales_of_the_rat_fink/

and look at the either or both of the following content attributes

<meta property="og:description" content="

or

<meta name="twitter:description" content="

in both cases the content attribute appears tokenized delimited by whitespace instead of as one string.

Ihe Onwuka scripsit:

> <meta property="og:description" content="
>
> or
>
> <meta name="twitter:description" content="

The element looks like this:

<meta property="og:description" content="Synopsis: Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was a genius of outlaw art who took America's obsession with all that is fast, loud, and streamlined and built it into an empire. In the 1950s, Roth was a hot-rodder who moved from bodywork and helping guys fine-tune the look" />

TagSoup does not know how to cope with double quotes inside a
double-quoted attribute value. The double quote before "Big" terminates
the attribute value, and the remaining text is assumed to be attributes
without values. Unfortunately, there is no fix or workaround for this.
