Content =
  (Element / Text)*

Element =
  startTag:StartTag content:Content endTag:EndTag {
    if (startTag != endTag) {
      throw new Error(
        "Expected </" + startTag + "> but </" + endTag + "> found."
      );
    }

    return {
      name:    startTag,
      content: content
    };
  }

StartTag =
  "<" name:TagName ">" { return name; }

EndTag =
  "</" name:TagName ">" { return name; }

TagName = chars:[a-z]+ { return chars.join(""); }
Text    = chars:[^<]+  { return chars.join(""); }
