<strong> tags are not parsed correctly from HTML

[hperl]

<strong> tags are not parsed correctly if they start or end with a space.

Using the API, the following does not parse:

irb(main):039:0> puts Kramdown::Document.new("<strong>oops </strong>", {input: 'html'}).to_latex

=> nil

<b> behaves correctly:

irb(main):040:0> puts Kramdown::Document.new("<b>oops </b>", {input: 'html'}).to_latex
\emph{oops }
=> nil

The same issue exists with <em> (not working) and <i> (working).

Thanks!

The problem is that the text inside the HTML tags ends with a whitespace which prevents the conversion of the HTML element to a native :strong element. However, there are special rules in the LaTeX converter to convert HTML <i> and <b> tags, but not <strong> and <em> tags.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

What you say about the whitespace preventing conversion to markdown/kramdown makes absolute sense. I just was not thinking of that, since I only want LaTeX.

Anyway, there seems to be another bug where a <b> tag gets converted differenly depending on whitespace:

Correct without whitespace (convert to \textbf{}):

[21] pry(main)> puts Kramdown::Document.new("<b>oops</b>", {input: 'html'}).to_latex
\textbf{oops}
=> nil

Incorrect with whitespace (convert to \emph{}):

[22] pry(main)> puts Kramdown::Document.new("<b>oops </b>", {input: 'html'}).to_latex
\emph{oops }
=> nil

I fixed these issues in the pull request.
