Hi all,

I find myaelf writing a template system (yeah, I know - but there is a
reason I'm not using an existing one). So I'm trying to parse xhtml using
the builtin expat parser. Mostly it works fine, however it ignores anything
that looks like an HTML comment. This is a bit of a problem as I see a lot
of code written like:

<script type='text/javascript>
<!--
alert("hello world');
// -->
</script>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
..style1 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
}
-->
</style>

Now obviously the browser is seeing the stuff inside '<!--' ...'-->' but
expat doesn't. I tried adding a non-parsed handler, but still can't see it.

Anybody fixed this?

C.
