71 .\" BUGS
72 .Sh BUGS
73 As HTML pages are not always correct and not openable with a XML parser,
74 .Nm
75 actually searches for a <title></title> tag using a regular expression. While
76 this is not ideal, it usually works in most situations.
77 .Pp
78 Only a few set of HTML entity characters are converted to the human readable
79 format.
