Great, thanks for the answer! (I just saw it now)

The library seems great!
One question, it seems that it does not handle the div elements correctly.
A div element is a block
element<http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/html-css/css-block-and-inline.php>
(by
default), and thus it should render a new line.

For example, with this html file:
++++++++++++++++++
<html>
<body>
test1
test2
<div>test3</div>
test4
<span>test5</span>
<span>test6</span>
</body>
</html>
++++++++++++++++++

if should produce:
++++++++++++++++++
test1 test2
test3
test4 test5 test6
++++++++++++++++++

note the new line between test3 and test4.

However, StringBean produces the following:
++++++++++++++++++
test1 test2
test3 test4 test5 test6
++++++++++++++++++

It handles correctly the new lines for text and span nodes, but not for
divs.

Is that the intended effect? if so, is it possible to override this (add a
new line for block elements)?
