Modes

Modes control how KindaXML recovers from malformed input and how it treats unknown tags.

Unknown tag handling

UnknownMode determines what happens when the parser sees a tag that is not in recognized_tags:

• Strip: remove the tag markup but keep inner text
• Passthrough: keep the literal tag markup in the output text
• TreatAsText: do not treat <...> as a tag at all

Recovery strategies

Unclosed tags use RecoveryStrategy (configurable per tag):

• RetroLine: annotate text on the same line before the tag
• ForwardUntilTag: annotate until the next tag start
• ForwardUntilNewline: annotate until the next newline
• ForwardNextToken: annotate the next token only
• Noop: ignore the unclosed tag

Autoclose and stray end tags

• autoclose_on_any_tag: close open tags when any new tag starts
• autoclose_on_same_tag: close an open tag if the same tag appears again
• stray_end_tag_policy: drop or passthrough unmatched end tags
