+<p>The old HTML parser was line-oriented based on regular expression matching. This
+brought several limitations like the inability of the parser to deal with tags
+spanning multiple lines and not respecting HTML comments. In addition, the speed
+of the parser depended on the number of regular expressions - the more tag types
+were extracted, the more regular expressions were needed and the slower the
+parser became. Finally, parsing of embedded JavaScript was very limited, based
+on regular expressions and detecting only function declarations.</p>
+<p>The new parser is hand-written, using separated lexical analysis (dividing
+the input into tokens) and syntax analysis. The parser has been profiled and
+optimized for speed so it is one of the fastest parsers in Universal Ctags.
+It handles HTML comments correctly and in addition to existing tags it extracts
+also &lt;h1&gt;, &lt;h2&gt; and &lt;h3&gt; headings. It should be reasonably simple to add new
+tag types.</p>
+<p>Finally, the parser uses the new functionality of Universal Ctags to use another
+parser for parsing other languages within a host language. This is used for
+parsing JavaScript within &lt;script&gt; tags and CSS within &lt;style&gt; tags. This
+simplifies the parser and generates much better results than having a simplified
+JavaScript or CSS parser within the HTML parser. To run JavaScript and CSS parsers
+from HTML parser, use <cite>--extras=+g</cite> option.</p>
