Summary: wxHTML - End tag inside a comment ends comment

Initial Comment:
I am using 2.4.2 on Windows XP..  If I use the
samples/html/test program as a testbed,  I get the
following:


The comment tag is being terminated early. 
Specifically, it looks like the text inside the comment
tags is being evaluated and the first closing tags
closes the comment early.


-------  INPUT TO WXHTML--------------------
<MYTEST>
<!--
THIS
</MYTEST>
</MYTEST>
IS A TEST
-->
</MYTEST>
---------  END OF INPUT   -------------------------

------  OUTPUT FROM WXHTML -----------

IS A TEST -->

-------  END OF OUTPUT  --------------

Thanks for the patch, fixed now, i.e. in wx 3 (better late than never...)

I have fixed this and will be uploading a patch when I get a
spare moment. 

The problem was that the html cache was caching the html
inside the comments.  The fix was to essentially suspend
caching inside the comment block.
