MDTest uses the DOMDocument->loadHTML function[^1] available in PHP 5:

<http://ca.php.net/manual/fr/function.dom-domdocument-loadhtml.php>

It produces a DOM, which can be normalized for whitespace, then  
reserialized as HTML and compared with the expected result file. The  
upside is that it's pretty fast. The downside is that it ignores  
misnested tags like this one.

I think I will use the XML parser instead. That will work, except for  
a few cases where non-XHTML HTML blocks are passed unchanged through  
Markdown.


[^1]: PHP 5 DOM functions, including HTML parsing, are based on libxml2.
