Description
https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.7.0/libdoc/rexml/rdoc/REXML/DTD/ElementDecl.html
<p>s*(((([“‘]).*?<a href=”^/’“>”>5)|</a>*)*?)(/)?>/um, true)</p>
https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.7.0/libdoc/net/ftp/rdoc/Net/FTP.html

<p>The available options are:</p>
<dl class="rdoc-list note-list"><dt>port
<dd>
<p>Port number (default value is 21)</p>
</dd><dt>ssl
<dd>
<p>If <a href=":ssl">options</a> is true, then an attempt will be made to use
SSL (now TLS) to connect to the server. For this to work <a
href="FTP/OpenSSL.html">OpenSSL</a> [OSSL] and the Ruby <a
href="FTP/OpenSSL.html">OpenSSL</a> [RSSL] extensions need to be installed.
If <a href=":ssl">options</a> is a hash, it’s passed to
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#set_params as parameters.</p>
</dd><dt>private_data_connection
<dd>
<p>If true, TLS is used for data connections. Default: <code>true</code> when
<a href=":ssl">options</a> is true.</p>
</dd><dt>username
<dd>
<p>Username for login. If <a href=":username">options</a> is the string
“anonymous” and the <a href=":password">options</a> is <code>nil</code>,
“anonymous@” is used as a password.</p>
</dd><dt>password
<dd>
<p>Password for login.</p>
All of these hrefs are wrong. I'm not exactly sure what they're supposed to be.
