html2text >=2024.2.25 regression breaks rss2email 3.14 tests?

[auouymous]

echo 'a <em>b</em>' |pyhtml2text produces a _b_ (double spaces) with html2text >=2024.2.25.

@auouymous thanks for the minimal reproducer 👍

@auouymous I'm having trouble reproducing it like that in isolation. Any idea what I'm doing wrong below?:

# cd "$(mktemp -d)"
# git clone https://github.com/Alir3z4/html2text/
# cd html2text/
# git checkout 2024.2.25 
# python3.10 -m venv venv
# source venv/bin/activate
# pip install -e .
# venv/bin/html2text <<<'a <em>b</em>'
a _b_
# ^^ without double spaces

@hartwork I just emerged 2024.2.25 and 2024.2.26 on gentoo.

@auouymous that expains the py in pyhtml2text, I see. Unfortunately, I don't get it this way — host Gentoo with no virtualenvs active — either:

# pyhtml2text --version
2024.2.26

# echo 'a <em>b</em>' |pyhtml2text
a _b_
# ^^ without double spaces

Any ideas?

I was able to copy a hidden "c2 a0" sequence from test feed to shell, but it didn't copy from shell to browser when posting here. It was a problem in rss2email and this issue can be closed.

@auouymous thanks for the fix and the update! Closing…
