The reason for using a true parser is to avoid obscure edge cases. Your example fails on both <IMG ... > and < img ... > Also, depending on the use-case (such as stripping them out of validated code), a use-case such as <i<img>mg src="evil.gif"> could get part stripped out and leave the evil <img> tag in the text. -tkc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
