Further info

HTML parser

Feed Creator 1.4 uses the fast libxml parser (the default PHP parser) but it will automatically make use of Gumbo (a fast HTML5 parser) if the Gumbo PHP extension is installed. Alternatively, HTML5-PHP (an HTML5 parser written in PHP) can be used by passing &parser=html5 as a parameter. The latter might produce better results than libxml for some sites, but is a little slower.

libxml will be used by default, unless HTML5 parsing is requested.
