Description

Hi, thanks for making this tool available! We have been testing this out and came across the following.

I have overlapping fields in my source flat file; using the folioxml tool, the output is well-formed but the applied field boundaries are not the same as was in the source.

Thanks for your time.

Darryl

example source fff
<RD>
<FD:"field 1"><FD:"field 2">field 1 and field 2 </FD:"field 1"> field 1</FD:"field 2">
<FD:"field 1"> field 1 <FD:"field 2"> field 1 and field 2</FD:"field 1"> field 2</FD:"field 2">

output (xml)
<record>
<span class="field1" type="field 1"><span class="field2" type="field 2">field 1 and field 2 field 1</span>
<span class="field1" type="field 1"> field 1 <span class="field2" type="field 2">field 1 and field 2 field 2</span>

</span>

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the overlapping FD examples from the issue, then trace the flat-file parsing and XML conversion paths; done means the generated field boundaries preserve the source nesting and overlap behavior.
