Note
For anyone who is using Elm 0.19 and blocked by this library, consider using hecrj/html-parser for now. It seems still WIP but passed the same test cases. I think that means the most difficult part of the HTML spec should be already covered (e.g. <li> does not need a closing tag). Also, it uses the official parser elm/parser which I was planning to use in the newer version. So I think contributing to hecrj/html-parser is the fastest path for everyone getting happy :)
