<br> are getting children...

[UncleGringo]

Not sure if this is an issue for here , Htmlparser2, or I am just clueless but whenever I pull in a doc with cheerio and there is code like

<br> <span> blah</span> <br>

that first br is going to get 2 children of span and br....

I thought this wasn't supposed to happen for nodes like br who can't have children when the xmlMode option is false.... or am I just confused...

It looks as though your <br /> is being treated as a line break. Can you edit your comment, indenting the example by four spaces so that it’s visible when rendered?

Fixed... sorry had to encode my example.. it was being interpreted as html

I can't reproduce this. Here's what I get:

> $('<br> <span> blah</span> <br>').first()
{ '0': 
  { type: 'tag',
    name: 'br',
    attribs: {},
    parent: 
    { type: 'root',
      name: 'root',
      parent: null,
      prev: null,
      next: null,
      children: [Object] },
    prev: null,
    next: 
    { data: ' ',
      type: 'text',
      parent: [Object],
      prev: [Circular],
      next: [Object] },
    children: [] },
  length: 1 }
