jTidy fails with Null pointer exception incase of white space before <br>

[sirsusar]

Hi ,

I'm using jTidy version 1.0.2 and here is my configuration set up

    Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
     tidy.setInputEncoding("UTF-8");
     tidy.setOutputEncoding("UTF-8");
     tidy.setForceOutput(true);
     tidy.setWrapSection(false);
     tidy.setWraplen(0);
     tidy.setShowErrors(0);
     tidy.setShowWarnings(false);
     tidy.setEscapeCdata(true);
     tidy.setFixComments(true);
     tidy.setIndentCdata(true);
     tidy.setDropProprietaryTags(true);

Few of my html documents fail when I try parsing them using jTidy and after debugging I found that it was space before
that is causing the issue . Is there anyway I can handle this whitespace please advice ?

Here is the error from console
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
