此代码假定标签将始终保持平衡，并且唯一没有关闭符的标签将是<br />（尽管如果需要，这可以很容易地修复）。

<p>Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.</p>
<p>Writing example text is very boring.</p>
<p>Specially when you are dumb enough not to copy and paste. Oh!</p>
<p>Once it sheltered the rogues and rapscallions of the British Empire; now Kangaroo Island is ready and waiting for some derring-do of your own. Venture into the rugged wilds of the island, traversing untamed bushland and pristine beaches seeking out seal, penguin and sea lion colonies. Meet the land loving locals - koalas, goannas, echidnas and the island's own species of kangaroo. </p>
