Description:
------------
I added LIBXML_PARSEHUGE to a rather large test suite and it instantly changed the formatting of a lot of tests. 

I thought it could be related to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76738 but cmb linked me to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76738

I think it's a possible PHP bug because the output doesn't seem to change on Python https://repl.it/repls/InfantileMiserableDemo but I'm not sure.

LIBXML_PARSEHUGE actually looks the more correct output, as it matches the input string.

Test script:

Ah, I thought it was about the differences between PHP < 7.3.0 and
>= 7.3.0!  If it's about the different output with and without
LIBXML_PARSEHUGE, it can't be related to the mentioned bug fixes,
since these have only been applied to PHP 7.3+.

> it's about the different output with and without LIBXML_PARSEHUGE

Correct

I would try uninstalling it and making sure it has a path assigned, then reinstall it.

like this:
Centos:
pip uninstall lxml
Ununtu:
sudo apt-get purge lxml
add the parsers to the PATH:
export PATH=/home/hsundara/packages_installed/libxslt-1.1.28/bin:/home/hsundara/packages_installed/libxml2-2.9.1/bin:$PATH
then install:
Centos:
pip install lxml --install-option="--auto-rpath"
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install lxml --install-option="--auto-rpath"

I just run the test script with PHP-7.4 on Windows (libxml2
2.9.10), and there LIBXML_PARSEHUGE does not make a difference
(the output matches the input for either).  So this looks like a
libxml2 issue to me.  Can you check that with a more recent
version than libxml2 2.9.4?

@cmb yeah this looks OK on Docker 7.4.23-cli-bullseye which is using libxml 2.9.10

Must have been a bug in libxml <2.9.10

Happy for you to close.
