REXML edge case with <a>A &gt; B</a>

Added by kwerle (Kurt Werle) over 14 years ago. Updated over 4 years ago.

Description

=begin
The attached file: rexml_test.rb was written in the context of a rails app, and used ./script/runner to execute.

It uses Nokogiri by way of comparison to REXML.

There are 4 test cases, and only the last one fails: REXML trying to parse the contents of A > B
It turns out, surprisingly, that the line is required for this to fail - without it, all tests will work.

% gem list nokogiri

nokogiri (1.4.0, 1.3.3, 1.3.2, 1.2.3, 1.1.0, 1.0.7)

My output (Mac OS X, Leopard):
% ./script/runner rexml_test.rb

HI. You're using libxml2 version 2.6.16 which is over 4 years old and has
plenty of bugs. We suggest that for maximum HTML/XML parsing pleasure, you
upgrade your version of libxml2 and re-install nokogiri. If you like using
libxml2 version 2.6.16, but don't like this warning, please define the constant
I_KNOW_I_AM_USING_AN_OLD_AND_BUGGY_VERSION_OF_LIBXML2 before requring nokogiri.
