Hi!
pdftohtml -xml sometimes produces invalid xml, resulting in lines like this:
<text top="218" left="142" width="532" height="16" font="1"><i>lea <b>sadji
</b></i>(korreláhta),<b> <i>gosa mannat </b>/ Minulla on <b>paikka</b>
</i>(korreláhta)<b>, <i>jonne </i></b></text>
In our collection of 1078 pdfs, pdftohtml produces 11 documents with this
'opening and ending tag mismatch' error.
I did some changes in utils/HtmlOutputDev.cc that make those 11 documents
wellformed and do not break the wellformedness of the other documents.
The changes I did is found here:
https://github.com/albbas/poppler/compare/fix_xml_wellformedness
I also made a diff (8174 lines) which shows what kind of changes this version
makes on our 1078 pdf documents compared to pdftothml 0.30.0. That diff is
found here: https://github.com/albbas/poppler/blob/fix_xml_wellformedness/all-pdf.diff
Would you be interested in incorporating these changes into the main branch?
Regards,
Børre Gaup
