Multiplier and backward selector problem

[rstacruz]

As reported via email by Michal. Report quoted below.

if you type:
li*2>dd>dt>a>img<<dl

it produces:

 <li>
     <dd>
         <dt>
             <a href="">
                 <img src="" alt="" />
             </a>
         </dt>
         <dl></dl>
     </dd>
 </li>
 <li>
     <dd>
         <dt>
             <a href="">
                 <img src="" alt="" />
             </a>
         </dt>
     </dd>
 </li>

Note the lack of <dl/> tag in second <li/>

I think what will benefit multiplication is fixing parentheses behavior. Instead of simply grouping, it implicitly assumes a <div> or skips the first element. For example, p (h1 + h2) produces <p></p><h2></h2> instead of the expected <p><h1/><h2/></p>.

I'm still kinda wet behind the ears with Python, so I don't know where I would begin hacking on this.
