Is anyone else having HTML comments get parsed oddly in the latest release
of Petal? What I'm seeing is a comment tag which is embedded in my
document get placed at the top of the document, effectively commenting out
most of the page (until an end block is hit). I think this may be an error
with HTML::Parser.
Attached is a test script with an example of the problem (as well as the
other problems I've reported). It's weird how a tag in a comment causes
text to get lost.
Thanks,
William
