Subject: 25.1; shr-use-font nil may use too much memory
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2016 12:29:52 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear Emacs maintainers,

I use shr to render HTML emails in Emacs.  As I prefer non-proportional 
fonts, I set

   (setq shr-use-fonts nil)

However, with some messages, Emacs started to use all system memory.  If 
shr-use-fonts is t, the rendering is fine.  Attached is a curated 
example triggering the bug: do

   (setq shr-use-fonts nil)
   select the whole html
   M-x shr-render-region

(I know the HTML is invalid but this is how the email message came.)

Best regards,
C.

I think the HTML is valid, but libxml2 hasn't been updated, so it parses
it wrong...

It is, in any case, not an Emacs bug, but a libxml2 bug: It doesn't
parse "<dd>foo<dd>bar" correctly.  The </dd> is optional in HTML.

I'm closing this report -- you should notify the libxml2 maintainer.
