Why does HTMLAgilityPack remove my closing tag?-CodePudding

Using htmlagilitypack in .NET (C#) and have some html code as such:

<p><ol><li>A bunch of text</li></ol><em>some em text</em> more text here.</p>

I then load it into a doc and save it via LoadHtml and Save functions. But I end up with:

<p><ol><li>A bunch of text</li></ol><em>some em text</em> more text here.

The last closing p tag is gone.

Why is this happening? How to fix it?

CodePudding user response：

As others said in the comments, it's an invalid HTML so that might be the reason why the HtmlDocument class itself is removing </p> in the end when you store it into a file using the Save method, but as a workaround, you can store it using System.IO.File class and store the document.Text at the output location.

var html = "<p><ol><li>A bunch of text</li></ol><em>some em text</em> more text here.</p>";
var document = new HtmlDocument();
document.LoadHtml(html);
File.WriteAllText("insert_your_path_here", document.Text);
