    copied!<p>I'm trying to parse html with BeautifulSoup and got strange error. Here's the minimal code which reproduces the problem. (Windows 7 32-bit, ActivePython 2.7).</p> <pre><code>from bs4 import BeautifulSoup s = """ &lt;html&gt; &lt;script&gt; var pstr = "&lt;li&gt;&lt;font color='blue'&gt;1&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;"; for(var lc=0;lc&lt;o.length;lc++){} &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/html&gt; """ p = BeautifulSoup(s) </code></pre> <p>Traceback:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;pyshell#69&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; p = BeautifulSoup(s) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bs4\__init__.py", line 168, in __init__ self._feed() File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bs4\__init__.py", line 181, in _feed self.builder.feed(self.markup) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bs4\builder\_htmlparser.py", line 56, in feed super(HTMLParserTreeBuilder, self).feed(markup) File "C:\Python27\lib\HTMLParser.py", line 108, in feed self.goahead(0) File "C:\Python27\lib\HTMLParser.py", line 148, in goahead k = self.parse_starttag(i) File "C:\Python27\lib\HTMLParser.py", line 229, in parse_starttag endpos = self.check_for_whole_start_tag(i) File "C:\Python27\lib\HTMLParser.py", line 304, in check_for_whole_start_tag self.error("malformed start tag") File "C:\Python27\lib\HTMLParser.py", line 115, in error raise HTMLParseError(message, self.getpos()) HTMLParseError: malformed start tag, at line 5, column 25 </code></pre> <p>If you remove the line starting with 'var pstr = ...', parse will work perfectly. Is there a way to get the correct parse of html code like this?</p>
