Research direction

Start by reading the repository documentation for existing options and the HTML comparison entry point. Determine how an option to ignore the contents of <script> tags should fit with current comparisons. Done means HTML outside those tags is compared while JavaScript contents are excluded, with behavior covered by an appropriate test.

Description

Currently reading through the docs, I haven't found any options that enable the overlooking of certain HTML tags. In my case, I'd like to compare strictly the HTML contents of a file, and leave the JS for some other time.

Is there an option, or plans for one?
