Support for custom self-closing tags?

[gilbert]

Hi, would it be possible to provide a way for htmparser2 to expose an option to allow custom tags that auto self close? In other words, an option to extend this record? I'm working on an html-based framework and would like to allow users to write a <page> tag without worrying about whether they need to write </page> or end with />.

Thanks for the great library.

Ok, so I pointed to the wrong thing. Turns out I need to extend voidElements instead.

Here's the commit I'm using to do this. If you'd like a PR, let me know. Or feel free to copy in the code yourself, no attribution needed.

I am also trying to parse .svelte files which have custom self-closing tags and on top there can be props in the form prop={javascript code} or prop="{javascript code}". When the first one comes as last prop and there is no space between the slash of the self closing tag, than the slash is added to the property like {javascript code}/ and there is no possibility to close the tag. Actually it would be sufficient for me to have access to the whole tag as a string on onopentag.

@floratmin There is a fork of this project for Svelte: https://github.com/alexprey/htmlparser2

@gilbert How do you feel about having to extend the parser to get this functionality? I'm thinking about moving the check for a self-closing tag to a separate method, which you could override.

@fb55 thank you to make me aware of this library, but same problem there. I reported it there.
