The formulation suggest that html validation is enforced. But is is actually easy to get test succeeding with invalid html. Eg. ``` SimpleTestCase.assertHTMLEqual(None, '
', '
') ``` The code rely on Python's HTMLParser (https://docs.python.org/3/library/html.parser.html) for which the documentation states it produce parsers ""able to parse invalid markup."". I suggest to correct documentation and/or to enforce validation on the parser side. How do you think about it?" Uncategorized new Testing framework 3.1 Normal Unreviewed 0 0 0 0 0 0
