Parsing error with string: H&M

[nberney]

Generates an error with the following string:

import htmlmin
htmlmin.minify('H&M')

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

Interesting. I will have to think on this. Technically, that is invalid HTML. It should be 'H&M'. That is what the error is about.

Hi Dave,
Thanks.

I know it's invalid... But I have a text with a lot a H&M (www.hm.com)
references...

Cheers,
Nicolas
