Different Behavior for Parsing Two Similar Wikipedia Infoboxes

[john-cherre]

I have two infoboxes that look exactly the same to me, but I'm getting different behavior in mwparserfromhell. In the first instance I'm getting what I expect - the entire infobox is captured as a template object. In the second instance parts of the infobox are extracted as separate templates. This is confusing since the infoboxes look very similar to me, and I was expecting that the entire infobox could be extracted in the second case.

This is the code I'm using:

mwparserfromhell.parse(text.strip().lower()).filter_templates()

The second infobox is a mess - it has multiple <ref> tags which are inconsistently terminated inside a template which started inside the tag. You should probably fix the wikicode itself...

For mwparserfromhell, this is a duplicate of #40.
