Re[2]: Add --custom-html-attrs option to support custom HTML tags and attributes

[Lyubomyr Shaydariv]

Hi Darshit,

Apologies for my previous email formatting: it got broken.

Yes, I was thinking of using the --follow-tags switch that
also was suggested in the "HTML Parsing" thread (Sep 2014),
but as far as I understand how it works in html-url.c, it
builds an intersection between the list of built-in HTML
tags and the tags the user wants to follow, so it cannot
be used to register new tags and attributes. This is why
I considered adding a new switch.
