Good to know. I'll use pathlib from now on, as well as avoid reading the
whole file into a variable.
I don't know why the simple "et.parse(source_filename, parser)" is not
working for you. I suspect a bug. I came across the following item in
the XML spec:
Could be. I'm surprised of getting no hits from Google when I searched
before asking. I'm surely not the first one to use lxml to parse an HTML
file that holds random CRLF in paraphgras not followed by an HTML end of
line (<br>, </p>, etc.)
Had another issue with parse(): It doesn't like reading from a string,
so StringIO() is the way to go:
"""
