Package: html2text
Version: 1.3.2a-14
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
If the <html> element has an attribute name that contains a numeric,
html2text stops processing the element and the remaining attributes show
up in the output (debug shows that it treats the remainder as PCDATA).
Example input misparsed at the x2:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns:p="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:powerpoint"
xmlns:a="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:access"

xmlns:x2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/excel/2003/xml";
