  • Whitespaces no longer accepted between </ and the tag name.
    E.g. </ script> does not end the script section.

  • Vertical tabulation (\v) and non-ASCII whitespaces no longer recognized
    as whitespaces. The only whitespaces are \t\n\r\f .

  • Null character (U+0000) no longer ends the tag name.

  • Attributes and slashes after the tag name in end tags are now ignored,
    instead of terminating after the first > in quoted attribute value.
    E.g. </script/foo=">"/>.

  • Multiple slashes and whitespaces between the last attribute and closing >
    are now ignored in both start and end tags. E.g. <a foo=bar/ //>.

  • Multiple = between attribute name and value are no longer collapsed.
    E.g. <a foo==bar> produces attribute "foo" with value "=bar".

  • Whitespaces between the = separator and attribute name or value are no
    longer ignored. E.g. <a foo =bar> produces two attributes "foo" and
    "=bar", both with value None; <a foo= bar> produces two attributes:
    "foo" with value "" and "bar" with value None.

  • Fix Sphinx errors.

  • Apply suggestions from code review

* Null character (U+0000) no longer ends the tag name.
