Code:

<li><a href="/Business_Etiquette_1.html" />Business Etiquette</a></li>

as you see, there is "/" in the code

Code:

<a href="/Business_Etiquette_1.html" />

, and another "/" in

Code:

</a>

In reality, the browser can deal with it as without the first "/" , viz

Code:

<li><a href="/Business_Etiquette_1.html">Business Etiquette</a></li>

It seems Calibre can not deal with it as the browser, firefox or IE, it will skip after meeting the first "/".

link "a" tag is one case, division div tag has also such problems, such as

Code:

<div id="text"/>......</div>

How to deal with such codes using recipe, I can't get any links using:
soup.find(id='text').findAll('a') to handle the mentioned code.
