Thanks Timwi. Is this because of tag soup? No offense, but what was
the challenge?
The challenge is getting the parser to match up nested start and end
tags correctly without having to add each permissible tag as a separate
token to the lexing file. I couldn't find a way to do this yet. I did
actually start an attempt at adding every tag as an extra lexical token,
and maybe it would have worked, but it proved laborious and boring.
