Description
Hi there,
Parsing fails for some pages ( eg. this article )
To replicate, open the generated html in a browser
const document = (new DOMParser).parseFromString(htmlFromTheArticle, 'text/html');
const html = document.body.innerHTML;
Instead of the original page, it now includes raw html code.

It happened for many html documents already. The culprit is htmlparser2, if I downgrade to v6.1.0, it works properly.
I tried to debug and the problem is caused in Tokenizer.ts. When I simply replace these lines
if (this.isSpecial) {
this.state = State.InSpecialTag;
this.sequenceIndex = 0;
} else {
this.state = State.Text;
}
With
this.state = State.Text;
It works properly. I'm not sure what is the proper fix, which will not affect the performance of htmlparser2, so I opened this issue instead.
